Photos: Line for iPhone starts here

Although there don't seem to be reports of any iPhone shortages, people who just want to be the first are already waiting in line in front of Apple stores in Manhattan.

On Tuesday, a line began in front of the Apple store in the shopping-heavy SoHo neighborhood. The three in line work for the advertising agency Anomaly, which represents the nonprofit organization Keep a Child Alive. Lindsey Lanpher and David Broad (right) say they're going to put the phones on sale at eBay and donate the proceeds to the foundation.

CNET News.com's New York City reporter, Caroline McCarthy, will be line watching until the first iPhone is sold Friday evening.
