If you are someone up to date on any sort of technology or just news at all, you would have heard that a prototype of Apple's next generation of the iPhone was leaked via Gizmodo.
The story begins as a young Apple employee was celebrating his birthday and accidentally left the phone at the bar. Disguised as the normal 3GS model the drunk guy who found the phone started playing with it and soon discovered that it was not your regular iPhone.
Weeks after the iPhone prototype was found, Gizmodo acquired it for $5000 and created an exclusive coverage of this marvelous event and posted pictures of the product.
Prototypes always have glitches at first so in the feature article the writer briefly mentions some info but the phone obviously was shut down immediately after the owner knew it was lost.
It was truly an honest mistake for Mr. Gray Powell, yes that is the birthday boy's name. Poor guy hope he doesn't feel the wrath and/or mockery from his fellow apple engineers too much.
On a lighter note this is some great publicity for the new release of the product. Not that Apple ever needs it. But sometimes a little unplanned good PR can be a nice surprise :-)
