“Dilbert” Weighs in on the Lost Next Generation iPhone [CARTOON]

In an eerily timed blog post, “Dilbert” cartoonist Scott Adams uploaded two unpublished comic strips today that deal with the misplaced next generation iPhone. [See above] The iPhone, which was left in a bar by an Apple employee named Gray Powell, came to light last week, when gadget blog Gizmodo posted footage of the yet to be officially announced phone. We’ve seen a lot of commentary/rumblings since then — Letterman even included the next-gen Apple product in his top 10 list — and today that all came to a head when the news came out that police raided the home of Gizmodo editor Jason Chen and took his computers, according to the gadget blog . Something tells us the head honchos at Apple won’t be content to view this incident as merely a “marketing ploy.” For more Apple coverage, follow Mashable Apple on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook Reviews: Facebook , Twitter Tags: apple , humor , iphone
