SAN FRANCISCO - Digg founder, Kevin Rose was randomly eyeballed at the San Francisco Apple store this weekend while he was reportedly waiting in line for iPhone 3G. It's about friggin time man! A chance spotting that answers dozens of dumb email inquiries we've received from Cult of iPhone faithful desperately seeking confirmation of Kevin Rose' iPhone of choice.
One rabid Rose fan with no life asked; "Does Kevin Rose seriously rock an original iPhone or is he onto 3G?" said Deb Grogwighi, "Do you actually know him? He's a definite man hunk I'd love to meet. I think he's just so cute!" Wow.
While I'm uncomfortable commenting on the Digg founders "cute factor", I couldn't help notice Rose was sporting his standard issue Digg hoodie, obviously employed by the Silicon Valley micro-celebrity to maintain a super low profile while in public.
The wildly popular Kevinrose Blogg recently gained gargantuan notoriety when Rose accurately predicted the release of iTunes 8 and launched a 'leaked' photo of the 4G iPod nano that turned out to be spot on. It's widely anticipated that Rose will be a credible force to be reckoned with in months to come, stoking the flames of the crazed Apple rumor mill.
UPDATED: "I just went to Apple store with dlprager, now that 2.1 is out, I got the 16GB white iPhone, Prager got the 16GB black." said Rose via Twitter. Thanks for the tip Steve E!

Wow, if anyone knew anything they would be following him on Twitter, and would in turn know that he did indeed pick up a 16GB white iPhone. http://twitter.com/kevinrose/statuses/920656097
