Regarding that Leaked Black “iPhone” Bezel…
Turns out that leaked black bezel that made the internet rounds prior to the iPhone 3GS’ rounds was… actually for a Creative Zii Egg. Says CNET Asia provides the picture, and MacRumors the short version:
The Zii Egg is a multi-touch iPod touch-like device that runs Google’s Android operating system. The device, though, bears a strong resemblance to the leaked bezel images, suggesting that it had simply been mislabeled all along.

It was pretty obvious that this ‘bevel’ was not for the iPhone 3GS, unless the pics were old. If the pics were old why didn’t they show up earlier ? If they were new pics they showed up too late, most 3GS were probably already assembled before these pics hit the rumour mill.

Well, you know that irrational believers love grasping at straws no matter how imaginary they are!
