What train line was this? I think I may have been on the same train. I boarded the 6:27pm departing train from San Francisco.

That looks very real to me. Weird that he doesn't seem to have the ear buds with the built-in mike that allow you to receive a call. It's also funny that Apple has never shown an iPhone actually being used as an iPod in any of their materials, but obviously you're going be using earbuds with one as often as not. Nice catch. You'll be hearing from Apple soon :-)

Hehe... Thanks.

I dropped my Treo and while bending over to pick it up, saw this guy typing and snapped a quick shot.

Given some friends concerns with privacy lately, I almost didn't post it.

Are you sure it's not a Zune?

Chances are he is an Apple employee. Some have had it for quite a while but haven't been allowed to bring it out in public until mid-May.

How'd it feel taking a picture of an iPhone with your Treo? ;)

Remarkable screen...if you look close enough you can see that there is something highlighted in the middle of the screen. A list of albums, prehaps? A photobook?

A friend of mine claims to have seen an iPhone in Cupertino today. I posted about it here:
iphonephil.com/front/iphones-in-the-wild

Also, I have another report of someone who actually got to use an iPhone here:

I sure wish I had pics to back it up :)

So is it Mike or what? Would it be a wise move on his part to respond to comments here, Gizmodo, Engadget, etc.?

blackbrutha says:

TVT 8th Grade Trip says:

I just wanted to point out something quite obvious: The headphones are plugged into the wrong side on top. On the iPhone, in Job's keynote (and online, i think), the headphones are supposed to be plugged into the top right of the device (also in iPods). So, unfortunately, this would not be an iPhone.
Posted 29 months ago. ( permalink )

grimmermatt says:

TVT 8th Grade Trip is completely wrong -- the headphones clearly go in the top left, according to every image and the keynote. The top right is the sleep mode switch. You can see both in the image above, as well as here :

hell i aint getting an iPhone but that is an iPhone :) Apple employees who have been given the iphones for testing purposes have been given the green light to start using them in public from supervisors :)
