Whoops !

It appears that a software engineer at Apple forgot their test version of the new iPhone 4G at a bar in Redwood City, California.

This device was found by a blogger for Gizmodo, who explains how he found the iPhone in this blog entry. He also reviews the device in this blog entry.

Oh well. At least STATE SECRETS weren’t involved ! :-/

iPad Delayed For Canada

The iPad’s international release has been delayed to “late May”, which includes Canada.
