But wait, the seller said, “this phone is ready to ship”. Eh? An eBay auction for a brand spanking new Apple iPhone has just ended for $800 dollars. The phone was put on the auction block on May 27th at 11:59 AM PDT and was quickly bought at 3:20 PM for the $800 “Buy it Now” price.

Of course, it could be that what I just said … applies to Leopard rather than iPhone … and this is just a way to save face at WWDC. Assuming it is really an iPhone issue, BTW, those buyers who bid on iPhones on eBay … as I said then, I don’t know what they were thinking. That was 3 weeks ago, which is a long time in cell phone ROM time … there’s no way the phone would have worked well even if those bidders had gotten a “real deal”.
