Reminiscing on iPhone rumors

[iN8]

Just for fun I did an advanced search on threads with iPhone in the title that were 1 year or older. Take a look:

Search Results

The oldest one goes back to May 2 2002!

Tomorrow iPhone jonesers will soon have their fix.

Its funny how 5 years of photoshops came nowhere near what it ended up looking like.

Ugh, a palm pilot screen pasted on the bottom of an apple mouse, how creative!

It twas 2001. Which makes it all the more astounding.

The thing that I've been wondering about though... Apple has stated they've been using completely different mockups to show to Cingular engineers in order to keep the true design a secret.

If you look back at some of the "leaks" in those threads - how many of them might have been those models? Its pretty interesting to think about the lengths Apple went to in order to keep things silent.
