The story is that a Vietnamese man found another iPhone 4G. It looks the same as the one leaked by Gizmodo except it was partially active with some strange looking console (text sort of thing. I will not go into the details. Sort of like command prompt or CMD in windows) screen with the word "Inferno" up the top in big green letters.
Well the first thing that strikes me about this is at least the OS is fake. I'm not sure how it was done but Apple could never have designed it. My reasoning is that IT LOOKS UGLY. Apple would never design something that was green with red flames, even if it was a prototype. My guess is that this guy either stole one from the assembly line or that it is an actual Apple leak. Why I think it might be an Apple leak it that they are not going after it at all. This might be because the whole international thing can make legal proceedings very tricky but COME ON, Apple has some of the best lawyers in the world. They might not be pursuing it because they were the ones that put it out there or maybe because they can't be bothered. They figure the world has already seen it and CBF. I'm really not sure to be honest.
What has been almost confirmed though is that it has one of the new A4 chips. A 1GB iPhone...THAT'S CRAZY FAST. It might have less power. I don't really know. Only part of the serial number was the same as the iPad chips so who knows. This whole story is sooooo weird I don't think anyone really knows what to make of it, including me.
If you want any more information there is tonnes at Gizmodo or cnet. Here is the specific Vietnam iPhone post
