UPDATED VIDEO: iPhone Prototype Yanked off of Ebay?

UPDATED: YouTube pulled the previous video due to a copyright claim by Apple. Engadget is currently providing an alternate video. Get it while it lasts...

ORIGINAL: Dieter and I were just talking about the iPhone prototype up on Ebay, went to check the current price (previously over $2000), and found that it had been yanked off of auction. We're guessing this is in response to a take-down request from Apple, who might claim physical or at least intellectual property rights over the device.

The YouTube video is still up for now, so enjoy it (while it lasts?)

    Bogus. Make a video, choreograph the "button pushing" and there you go. Where is P.T. Barnum???

    Thanks for the recommendations you have provided here. Yet another thing I would like to mention is that pc memory needs generally rise along with other developments in the technological know-how. For instance, when new generations of processor chips are introduced to the market, there is usually a matching increase in the size calls for of all computer system memory and also hard drive space. This is because the software program operated by these processor chips will inevitably increase in power to use the new technological know-how.
