iPhone 4 Prototype Is Now Listed on eBay

Just over a year later of a mysterious prototype of the iPhone 4 be purchased by  blog Gizmodo and start a battle between the company's technology blog apple and the U.S., another prototype of the ubiquitous and oniscente smartphone apple was for sale this week.

The flavor of the month was a supposed trial version of the device, which entered into the auction site Ebay last Monday. Among their unique differences from the final model are the lack of symbols + and - volume buttons and the IMEI code which would prove that the model was a test version. In addition, the device does not work and can not know what their storage capacity.

While the model purchased by the blog was worth $ 5,000 (£ 7,800), the unit grew to bid "real" around U.S. $ 2,000 (£ 3,100), cashing bogus bids nearly $ 80,000.

For those interested, the bad news. Although the auction of the device was expected to close in the next 11 days, he disappeared from the pages of the shopping site.
