Steve: "I'm glad we got this back.." (holds up iPhone)
(invites Jason Chen from Gizmodo up on stage to present the device)
Nope, he calls Jason on the phone and says ... I decided to call you since you used your one phone call for your lawyer. Don't you wish you were here?

I wonder if Jobs will punish everyone and remove the front facing camera last minute.

Just love the way this guy keeps pushing the home button each time he turns it over hoping for something else to come on

Interesting that MacRumors chose to use the word "lost" in the title of this thread, because I don't see any evidence of this in the story. It seems just as likely that this prototype was stolen. So I'm wondering if using the word "lost" is an attempt to put a spin on the earlier prototype story?
Overall, I would say that the root cause of these two stories is that with the iPhone beginning to dominate the market, that industrial espionage has correspondingly been ramped up against Apple.

That's true of many cultures. The old-style Chinese aristocrats always had those super long nails for the same reason - because they could. A menial worker couldn't, even if they wanted to.

Change is hard to accept, especially in design, where everybody has their taste.
This new design is very efficient and good (my taste) and looks like it will be easier to hold with more edges for a firmer grip. Very professional look.
The buttons replacing the rocker switch will be used for other features I predict. (Block auto switch to horizontal mode for example)
Good in port for gamers to make games with multi button use.
Once people get the new iphone into their hands they 'll never look back at the old.
Will take 64 GB minimum for me to switch/get a new one

Do you think apple got permission to use the transformer images for icons?
Copyright lawsuit?
They don't use it for commercial purposes.

The screen does change. In the beginning it says 'Iteration: 0', later on it writes 'Iteration: 2'. People think this app is run when you start the 'BurnIn' software from the hardware testing firmware.

Couldnt agree more - the current format looks a bit toyish whilst this design looks professional and solid.
My 3GS is mint except the hairline cracks form the stupid plastic casing!!!!
How long after the WWDC does the iphone usually take to hit the shelves?

I don't think Apple's Sheriff's Department has jurisdiction in Vietnam...lol
...but Batman doesn't have any jurisdiction... maybe they can get him to sort this out?

It looks like a mini iPad. I guess that is the point.
