It's a Brave New World – Blog by Scott Arundale & Tashi Trieu

Never having lived in Silicon Valley, I can’t say how cutthroat the competition is there. They’ve got the brightest minds, toting the very latest in hardware innovations. However there is a ripple effect when a piece of technology goes missing.  The NY Times reveals how much a lost iPhone is worth especially when it is a market prototype containing some new and interesting features.

Gizomodo paid a King’s Ransom for it.

UPDATE: 4.20.10

Gawker, publisher of Gizmodo may be liable for civil and criminal charges in buying stolen property.

Meanwhile,  Jim at MarketSaw speculates on a bold new App that the iPhone may be one day supporting, using a special pair of glasses to deliver 3D content.  Heads up display, anyone?

UPDATE 4.28.10

The Official Verdict from Jason Calacanis who knows Gawker and Gizmodo and has a strong opinion on the case which has generated heat from the law.

I’d be happy simply being able to watch video on my iPhone Facebook page. But even if it was Flash equipped,  AT&T’s network is not up to the task of streaming video effectively.

“Apple’s decision not to support Flash on their devices is purely a business decision…”

All this week, I’ve been wondering what will be the next announcement from Cupertino and why aren’t they here?  I’ve enjoyed using the NAB iPhone app that lists the Exhibitors and pushes daily notices about events. Despite the din around the halls, I’m waiting for Apple to chime in.

Two things have emerged one having to do with 3D:

HDGuru3D.com reports on Apple’s Patent Pending ‘iSpecs’.

The other is a party they got going on at the Renaissance on Wednesday.
