The story of the lost/found of the supposed prototype of iPhone 4G/HD you probably already know it, if you can't find it here, let's see what happened from March 18, when the prototype was lost, to April 18, when the first images of that terminal appeared.
So on March 18, the device was lost by a software engineer from Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, was found and was in the possession of a certain person for more than 3 weeks before Gizmodo paid $5000 to get possession of the terminal, after which he spent a week closely investigating the terminal to then present it to the whole world. However, the problem is this: what happened in these 3 weeks in which Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), could he have come into possession of that prototype, did he look for it? Didn't you look for it?
The person who found the terminal called the customer relations service of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), and announced that he found a prototype of iPhone but of course no one believed him, basically why would anyone, and it seems that he kept the terminal in his possession trying to sell it on eBay. However, in the evening after finding the Apple phone, he deleted everything on it via remote iPhone using the service MobileMe, but why didn't he use the function Find My iPhone so praised upon release iPhone OS 3.0/iPhone 3GS? Well that prototype probably had iPhone OS 4.0 installed on it and unfortunately the function Find My iPhone it is not yet compatible with OS 4.0 beta so this is the reason why Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), did not attempt to locate the prototype.
There are 3 weeks left in which the prototype was in the possession of a person, Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), made no effort to locate it and no one knows how it was possible for that terminal to remain free for 3 weeks and Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), with a security problem. And if we are still talking about security, another problem could arise: what is a software engineer looking for with an iPhone prototype in the city? Maybe he tested it, maybe he stole it... who knows, it's certain that we saw what a prototype looks like Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),!
