Over the last few weeks I've been asking companies and PR's to donate or lend me gadgets and outdoor equipment for when I'm camping on the streets of London to get hold of the iPhone 5.
The response has been brilliant! I'm so excited and can't wait for the official press release from apple confirming when the iPhone 5 will officially go on sale.
In this blog post I want to share some pictures of some of the products donated so far.
I received a rather large parcel of iPhone accesories from a company called Case Mate. They sent over an iPhone 4 case called "Tough" and two battery extenders; the Fuel Max and Fuel Light. It will be interesting to see how many hours of use I can get out of them.
Lynx are are going to pop down and visit me outside the apple store. I'm not going to be able to have a shower so this will help. If you have any ideas on how I could have a shower on a London pavement leave a comment below this blog entry :)

I had a message from a company called Monkey Spunk who have given me a couple of sample bottles and a cloth. You may be thinking what this is? Well it's a special cleaning solution for gadgets. I'm guessing this will come in handy outside the apple store.

The Spital Fields Candle Company are sending out a range of candles they sell online. As I will be on the streets of London for a significant amount of time I thought I could do with some candles to make my pitch feel a bit like home.
Apatchy have offered to lend me a powerpatch charger. I think I have enough power to keep me blogging for months!

| Some serious power! Chilango Mexican restaurant have kindly offered to supply some meals to me. I believe they will be delivering the food directly outside the apple store. I love Mexican food and am not sure what to order from their menu. Leave a comment on what you would order from the menu as I'm undecided on the meals I should go for. |

Sock Shop have kindly offered to supply some heat holder socks to keep my feet warm. London in October could be fairly cold at night.
