uhm, ok, that's very nice but doesn't answer the question
It was a dumb joke, a sarcastic reference to Schrodinger's cat.
But hey- 2 points for nailing the impossibility of an iphone powering up if its battery is depleted! You Win!

The battery wouldn't be depleted anyway becuase a) the iphone would be turned off in transit or b) the Iphone would be turned off in transit
He was more likely referring to the FedEx label, not the NDA labels. I doubt his PB was shipped to him with NDA labels all over it
No... It was not the FedEx label, the box that my nano and Powerbook BATTERY came in were brown just like that, with a shipping lable with a black apple in the upper left corner with my name and address on it. Everything looked similar, except it was without the NDA warning on the front.
And how is it that I got "screwed"? I still got the product... and it was directly from Apple. But no, I do agree with you that just anyone could have printed off a label like that and slapped it on a box... but it DOES look like similar shipping labels apple has used in the past.
Blue Velvet told me to post mysterious boxes we have received here.
I actually received this, this morning.
What should I do??
It's probably just one of these:

Probably best if you don't open it. And keep your eye on the guy with the big head: He can be tricky
Not if there is a 50 50 chance that it would be turned on in transit. Then the iphone is in a complete state of flux between being able to be turned on or not

That just made me laugh out loud. I remember that MS3K!

Give this man 50 bonus points for working in a MST3K reference!
Wrong! All you Se7en literalists are on the wrong track.
And sorry, Brian. Bill's version is better.

In actual fact all the resellers in the city here in Sydney received that box. However they didn't just get one box but many of them. They're packing boxes because when the Apple Store opens these resellers will go out of business (thank goodness, most of them have no clue what they're selling).
Hehehehe....I just talked to one of my friends who works at AT&T...found out the release date.
I did too.
But I have an actual pre-release phone. They can't because of the NDA and now there will be 29 pages of forum posts with people tearing they're whole lives apart to attempt to prove they are lying!
Ok well then... can you guys at least say if it is this week or give me a hint. I'm dyin here. This will be my first iPhone and I have been without a cell phone for 3 weeks in anticipation for this thing!
