Meet the guy who supposedly lost 4G iPhone
General public, meet Gray Powell. Gray Powell, meet the world. See, according to Gizmodo, Gray is the unfortunate Apple employee who lost a prototype next-gen iPhone in a San Francisco Bay Area bar. The supposed carelessness has sparked a flurry of cloak- and dagger-style discussion in the blogosphere, among tech pundits, and, of course, on Twitter.
Gizmodo says Powell left his phone on a stool at German bar Gourmet Haus Staudt in Redwood City, Calif. The oft-tweeted story goes that a drunk person handed it to the Mysterious Man, the person who got the prototype phone to Gizmodo after allegedly waiting at the bar to see if its owner would come back to claim it. He didn't.
The Mysterious Man found out who Powell was via the Facebook app in the phone. The next day Apple wiped the device, so the Mysterious Man contacted Gizmodo. The rest, as they say, is history.
