Protohype
April 21, 2010 Urban Word of the Day The process of leaking a prototype device to generate buzz about a product you don't quite yet have ready for market to a friendly tech website who will promote the gizmo well before it's ready to go. Gizmodo's finding of that Apple iPhone 4G months before it's released is clearly a case of protohype. |

Leaking photos and specs to guage consumer response is one thing, giving an actual prototype to a blog is completely different. Considering the reports of iPad prototypes being literally kept in secure rooms at the New York Times i cant see Apple completely changing their strategy for the iPhone 4.

Are any of you guys still following this? Seems Gizmodo's editor got raided..
http://www.pcworld.com/article/19503...ors_house.html *snippet* So, it turns out that Apple isn't thrilled about media companies dropping big bucks for its secret prototypes--on Friday night, California's Rapid Enforcement Allied Computer Team reportedly entered Gizmodo senior editor Jason Chen's residence with a warrant, seizing four computers, two servers, and a number of other incidentals (including flash drives, cameras, and cell phones).
