i'm going to go ahead and predict that this prototype (if that's truly what this is) looks nothing like the actual final product.
who's with me?
- isn't it too late to be tinkering with that stuff at this point? aren't they releasing it this summer?iCanHasQBN
- are you assuming this isn't a reject prototype, or from months ago?SteveJobs
- if it was the final product, I'd say ivy and the engineers are busting ass on a redesign now.tymeframe
- i dunno. could be a reject. though i bet it looks closer to the final product than the current iphone does.iCanHasQBN

One who finds lost property under circumstances which give him knowledge of or means of inquiry as to the true owner, and who appropriates such property to his own use, or to the use of another person not entitled thereto, without first making reasonable and just efforts to find the owner and to restore the property to him, is guilty of theft.

iPhone update. We think we've identified the sorry Apple engineer who left the next-gen phone at the bar. Calling in a min.

still thinking about this, it's worth much more than the 10K paid by giz, no wonder they paid so fast. the smart move would have been to send a message to apple first. the thing was a commodity to anyone who found it. the line between leverage on and favor from apple would have been hard to discern for sure

I say it is a decoy prototype. Prototypes of older iPhones pop up on eBay from time to time, they usually have interesting differences from production models. Sometimes it looks normal but has an awkward OS, because software/UI team and hardware team cannot see the whole product. Or it has shit casing with full OS.

right now, deep in a secret annex of Apple's corporate headquarters, several engineers are bound and gagged and strapped to chairs with regulated electrical currents running through them. mr jobs paces in front questioning each of them and smacking them with each iterated syllable. "who let the prototype out!?, which one of you is responsible!?!?!?!".
the rest of the cupertino staff sits silent wincing with each echoing blow heard from beneath the facility.

from Gruber...
It’s been an open secret to those of us in the racket that Gizmodo purchased this unit about a week ago, from those who claimed to find it. That this belongs to and was made by Apple is almost beyond question at this point. Just how much it looks like what Apple plans to ship this summer, I don’t know. Note that it’s thinner than a 3GS.
I’m mentioned in the article, and must respond. Jason Chen writes:
--- Apple-connected John Gruber — from Daring Fireball — says that Apple has indeed lost a prototype iPhone and they want it back:
--- So I called around, and I now believe this is an actual unit from Apple — a unit Apple is very interested in getting back.
--- Obviously someone found it, and here it is.
Note that I did not use the word “lost”. It is my understanding that Apple considers this unit stolen, not lost. And as for the “someone(s)” who “found” it, I believe it is disingenuous for Gizmodo to play coy, as though they don’t know who the someones are.

I'm still in doubts that it's a final product.
Would Apple really allow unreleased products to go out into public with a measly rubber sleeve disguise?
If it is a final product, Apple just lost a lot of money and could be considering an enormous lawsuit.
