It's been five human years -- roughly three billion in technology years -- since the first iPhone landed, and while gadget geeks play a very patient waiting game for the iPhone 5, Ebay seller samsonbible is appealing to the collector crowd with an auction of the original version. Here's a friendly reminder on the ancient specs (from DVice):

Quad-band GSM (no CDMA Verizon/Sprint model here!), 2.0-megapixels with no LED flash (perfect for those grainy Instagram pics), 8GB of internal storage (for storing no apps because the App Store didn't exist in 2007), a puny 1,400mAh battery, a 3.5-inch LCD display with an incredible 320 x 480 resolution and the original iPhone OS (before it was rebranded iOS).

Such mind blowing technology will lighten your wallet by $10,000, which somebody will probably pay.

Creepy Ass Cell Phone Of The Day: Professor Hiroshi Ishiguro of Japan's Osaka University has just unveiled his plans for miniature Telenoid at the Asia On Edge Festival in Singapore. Basically, instead of your cell phone ringing, you'd feel this pink blob "Elfnoid's" presence and the conversation would go from there. Shudder.

Be afraid, be very afraid.
