David Letterman's 'Top Ten Excuses of the Guy Who Lost the iPhone Prototype'

by

Late Show host David Letterman last night used his "Top Ten" segment to highlight the case of an Apple engineer who last month left his next-generation iPhone in a Redwood City, California bar, only to have it leaked by Gizmodo earlier this week.

Letterman's "Top Ten Excuses of the Guy Who Lost the iPhone Prototype" pokes fun at a number of targets, including Apple's 'i' naming scheming for its products and AT&T's service quality. The list also links the lost iPhone to a number of other current events including the Icelandic volcano and a recent iPad theft that resulted in the owner losing a portion of his finger in addition to his new iPad.
