Some old dude had one in the airport

Sightings of the iPhone are coming in like sightings of aliens
But there's more photographic "evidence" of aliens "in the wild".
LMAO!!!
But c'mon, if I posted a pic with me next to an Apple executive in an airport with the iPhone in his hand while I was holding my ID, clock and a newspaper (to prove the date), you still wouldn't believe it...
Honestly, when I read these stories I always ask myself: "what has the OP got to win by lying about seeing an iPhone in the open?" and my answer is: nothing, he wins nothing at all, so.. why do it if it isn't true? It's not like we don't know how the iPhone looks anymore
To the OP: I'm not saying I believe you, but I'm not going to call you a liar either.
The other day I was flying Continental Airlines to Houston and I sat next to Big Foot who was using a new MacBook Pro with the LED lit screen. He got a call and whipped out his iPhone and I was like WHOA I need to come back to MR and post about it!
I've seen an iPhone in about 10 people's hands.
Yeah you have to believe me because I'm willing to put up my life savings.
I believe you man, I mean heck...I've seen them all over too!

It is possible you know that he is telling the truth.
A friend of mine was coming back from the states last year on a British Airways flight in first class. 2 rows ahead of him was Prince William!
We were also on a flight recently in premium when Robbie Williams walked past so these mega celebs do fly normal airlines, so its entirly possible that this guy saw a company exec in an airport.
What gets me riled though is that an ex-work collegue was on holiday several months ago and sent me an email from when he got back. He was sat 2 rows from Evangeline Lilly and The Hobbit on a 11hr flight! I would have been giddy man, wife or no wife

Did the Hobbit have a iPhone too?
If it was that apple exec he should be sacked. Playing with a top secret product before its officially released not very smart.
I'm surprised people find this so unbelievable.
Launch is in about a month. Production devices are being built, either now or soon. Execs will have the phone and will be using it. I work for a phone manufacturer. Our pre-production phones are in use in the public by our employees as soon as they're announced, and sometimes sooner.
Of course Apple execs have them, and of course they fly commercial. Does Jobs? Probably not. But I'm not surprised this guy does, as do most of them most of the time. Corporate jets are incredibly expensive, and if he was dressed casually, it probably wasn't even a company flight.

Yeah, I saw that movie too - waitaminit, I'm thinking of Sam Jackson, sorry.
"There's an iPhone on the muthaF*¢@ing plane!"
A co-worker of a friend of mine really did see Danny Glover with an iPhone though...
I was on the same flight as Colin Mochrie once, if that counts
I don't doubt that somewhere, in this huge planet, people have pre-production iPhones.
I know that a local telecommunications company has a trial network set up for testing its wireless devices, and I know employees that carry around said devices. Not as exciting as an iPhone, but I'm sure Apple also has to do real-world trials. They can't just test in a top-secret lab and then suddenly reveal it to the public without any test trials in between.

The poster of a thread like this has nothing to gain, so they're probably not making it up... on the other hand, they have nothing to gain, so if I saw someone using an iPhone in the wild, I'd just tell my friends (because they'd believe me) and not a group of strangers online (because they wouldn't)
Yeah, I heard that Robbie Williams career was tanking. I had no idea he started working for Virgin Atlantic...
Now wouldn't that be interesting!! Here we have apple going all green with announcements of LED screens and what not and their senior officers are flying around in private jets burning more and more fuel and emitting tons and tons of carbon dioxide!! Way to go green i say!!
Steve Jobs used to have a private helicopter he would use to shuttle around California in due to the fact that he hated freeway traffic. Not sure if he still has one though.
Well apple prsonel trying out apple hardware before launch sounds kinda possibly, seeing as this is what any other phone vendor do with their phones prior to launch (testing what happens in the field is kinda vital...), although they usually place new hardware in old cases to keep people who aren't testing from noticing - well atleast this is something S/E is doing and they are prolly not alone.
Ooh, it is all a big conspiracy.
Get a grip people, 1 month before launch pretty much all execs should have one already. And to say all execs fly in their own private jet... what world do you live in?

A pre-Sarbanes-Oxley one?
Fat≠Old
You can be a baby and be fat. Grey hair, is a sign of aging, but its 44 isn't old. And you saying he's old, doesn't make it so
And ya, pictures or it didn't happen
Force Two is up for repairs.
