Apple Thoughts: Psst! Wanna Buy a Prototype iPhone? Too Late

"A set of iPhone prototypes from 2006 briefly made the eBay rounds this morning, with bids running more than $2,000 for the two phones (one non-working) before Apple managed to get the listing yanked sometime during the day."

Interesting setup, I'm glad they didn't use it though. Rather ugly, but I guess that is why they are called "prototypes" eh? The video of someone using it has been pulled from YouTube several times, but you can still see a copy of it on engadget. There is also some discussion in the macrumors forums, from January of this year, of a couple of prototypes that someone bought off ebay. He also posts some pictures of them and they look like the protorypes in the video. Not too surprising that Apple got them pulled from ebay the same day they went up for bid.
