First, I would like to take this opportunity to scream: FINALLY, THIS IS MY LAST POST...EVER!!!!! Okay but seriously I thought this day would never come. When Professor Drake gave us this task back in January, I told myself there is no way I will be able to write something consistently every week. But I am glad that I did instead of just slacking off and then having to scramble to get in 5 posts in one week. Overall, I thought the whole blog idea was really fun. I usually spend my time anyway finding cool information on the internet and this allowed me to share my findings with others. As well as seeing other interesting information found by my classmates.
My last post is about a very, very unlucky young Apple Software Engineer. Gray Powell was given a 4th generation iPhone prototype to test in the real world. Well he had it in a special case that disguised it as a iPhone 3GS. Unfortunately, he went out with some of his friends, drank many beers and ended up leaving the prototype iPhone on his bar stool.
This is really crazy to me. Imagine how you would feel knowing that you single handedly led to Apple's next great product being leaked out to the world? Hopefully Gray gets to keep his job because anyone could of made that same mistake.
The body itself could easily be a draft version - the guts that will be used in the phone inside of a different shell. They did it with both of the previous versions. It could be revision A of a project that settled on revision H. :(
ReplyDeletei read about this some people say Apple did this on purpose to generate more buzz. i don't know but Gizmodo said they would gladly return it.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have that phone right now. And I like how Apple is constantly innovating their single product that made them huge.
ReplyDeleteYeah Joe I agree with you. Looks really good but I don't think it is the final revision of the phone. But hey somebody just made 5000 bucks out of it which is really cool. I wish I would have found it.
