What's in the Box? The 3G iPhone Lands Down Under
 What's in the Box?
The 3G iPhone Lands Down Under?
Late yesterday afternoon MacTalk received the above photo from a very reliable source who can not be named for obvious reasons (fear of assassination by the Apple Secret Police I presume). Word on the street is that resellers across the country have also received similar packages. As seen by the picture, it's contents are protected under NDA until Tuesday June 10 - does that date ring a bell to anyone?
Our source strongly believes that the package contains the much coveted 3G iPhone. Why is there only one and why is it here early though? Our source believes that the iPhone contained within is for promotional purposes, ie. after it's official unveiling at WWDC next week, the iPhone will go on display with a sign saying 'look how cool I am - you can buy me on this date'. That date still looks like it will be June 19, coinciding with the opening of the flagship Sydney Apple Store.
In early April, MacTalk published an exclusive story detailing Apple's plans for the iPhone in Australia and providing the arguably world first news that the iPhone would be sold without the exclusive carrier model. Despite the story being dismissed at the time, these facts have all but been confirmed by Apple themselves. This image provides yet more evidence in the case for the iPhone landing here officially very soon.

Interesting! so has mactalk been right al along preview on the 9th and release for sale on the 19th.
Having one of those boxes sitting around would be shocking i would be so tempted.

This box needs to be opened, and it needs to be opened now! (ignore that NDA it's for the courts to decide).

Yeah, it only says not to "open", nothing about a trip to the airport.
You know decryption, I'd probably open it anyway and just not tell anyone, I'm selfish that way.

Well that lines up with the reports that Quanta warehouses are filling up with pallets of unmarked boxes... They're sending demos out to stores for the launch now, then the big deliveries will start going out afterwards.
Either that, or it's full of advertising material for a slightly revised iPod Classic, and everyone's going to cry.

Or the hospital. A CAT scan would provide better detail. I think an MRI is right out though.

I think we need a poll on this:
Should Decryption swipe this box and we all meet at Young and Jackson tonight after work and open it.
