I was watching the frenzy at some other sites this morning.  The Techno-Fetish set have their knickers in a twist. 

This is pretty damn funny.  I think I want to post a pic...

I  like the fact you can get an app for ladies who are lonely... the vibrating app.  Out side of that, who gives a shit except for the expensive toy set?

I call shenanigans. This has GOT to be a publicity stunt.

A lot of people have been saying that.  It does seem awfully fuckin' clumsy for a prototype to get lost in this fashion. 

On the other hand, the timing seems screwy if it was deliberate, because people are still talking up a storm about the iPad, and I don't see the company diluting the buzz for one of its products to promote another that isn't even on the market yet.

Maybe it's someone's weird idea for a new way to test the market.

And Gizmodo's still getting slammed by their own commenters--some of whom have made some really good points.

And for Taint and Fnord we'd need Obama blowing Steadman...
