Yeah ^^ to be fair though, he was kinda bladdered! And no matter how much he tried, the guy who found it just couldn't get in touch with him, or apple to return it. so he was quite right to sell it to gizmodo for $5000 !2010-04-20 21:16:00

Well you can't rule out the possibility that it's simply a lie made to gain hits on a website. The design doesn't really look sleek enough to fit in with Apple's latest stuff.

It could also be a viral campaign created by Apple.

Oh no. This is not a viral campaign. Not at all, sir. This iPhone doesn't have curves etc. because...

1. There's too much in it for it to have curves
2. Curves don't look good
3. It fits in your hand better
4. It's a prototype

And apple wouldn't such a thing due to the fact that it's a prototype! And Apple ACTUALLY asked for it back.

It's the actual thing. It's the iPhone 4G. Apple has asked Gizmodo to return the phone back. So yeah, it's real. Looks really nice to be honest and I have an upgrade I was going to get the 3GS but I'll just wait for this.2010-04-20 22:59:00

It's not the iPhone HD, it's the iPhone 4G.

Seems less significant of an adaption that the DS lite to the DSi. But I don't really understand it much, so yeah x32010-04-20 23:14:00

It has dual core processing and it's finally in HD. I find that pretty significant.2010-04-20 23:17:00

If you read into it, they looked inside the device too, It's very real! And gizmodo wouldn't lie on this magnitude...

Of course it does! Watching movies in HD on the go. Taking HD videos or pictures on the go. And it looks pretty nice too. I like how it looks better then the 3G iPhone. Guess it's just down to tastes.

Especially when you're transferring these photo's to a computer, HD ,makes ALL the difference!

Oh, and jon4lakers pointed out that "4G" would confuse with a different kind of network, so apple wouldn't do that. So it could be iPhone HD, or iPhone 4.
Knowing apple, they might just come up with something creative and different...

When we say HD... are we talking about the camera? Just because the screen may have a slightly higher resolution (and that was just by a guess by the writers... could look like that because of the smaller screen) doesn't mean it's HD. Infact ipods and such pretty much display at what we would call HD on our TV's. Maybe it supports HD videos? That would be handy, but ofcourse so very pointless. Why store HD videos on your phone when you could compress it tons and keep it at the same quality for the screen? My phone supports HD video (because I can record video at 720p) and there's almost no difference in screen quality compared to my ipod touch. At the end of the day it will be near impossible to tell any difference between this HD and what we have currently. It's the same sort of argument that you can't tell the difference between 720p and 1080p for TV's under 50" (ofcourse there will be a difference, but in terms of movies it will be barely noticable. Though using games you would probably be able to see the difference)2010-04-21 00:23:00

And also using it to take pictures and videos for use on your computer, or uploading 720p videos to YouTube would be a great feature!

Come to think of it, that will probably be pretty durable too. I've dropped my old iphone 3g loads of times! (Not on purpose) and it still works fine!!2010-04-21 21:04:00
