Tequila + iPhone = not a good idea. As one Apple employee found out when he left a prototype iPhone – possibly the upcoming ‘5’ in tequila bar Cava22, San Francisco.
Following the blunder, which took place over a month ago, a massive manhunt ensued with company investigators and police on the trail of the top secret and highly valuable device. The Apple employee was said to be testing the device.
According to Cnet, the iPhone has now been sold on Craigslist for a mere $200.
iPhone 5, due for release September/October is said to sport a faster A5 processor a la iPad 2 – and a better camera, possibly with 8-megapixel sensor, a polysilicon low temperature HD display and running the new iOS 5.
