Robert Scoble and his son, Patrick, both of Half Moon Bay, are told they can move back in front of the Apple Store on Univeristy Avenue in downtown Palo Alto by the store's assistant manager, Erez Saldinger.

Employees of the store had asked Patrick Scoble to move away from the front of the store.

The Scobles started waiting to buy an iPhone, which goes on sale tomorrow, at 9:45 a.m. this morning.
