So, a guy walks into a bar, drinks a few beers and leaves possibly the most awaited consumer product in history in the bar.

Shrouded in secrecy no more, Gray Powell, an Apple employee appears to have left his prototype iPhone 4G in a bar in Cupertino, Northern California, before its imminent release.  The leak has appeared on Gizmodo.

Apple's new iPhone has a host of new features, including two cameras, for video chatting, and a flash for the main camera.  Not to mention the new iPhone 4.0 Operating System, which has a swag of new features, including iAds, Apple's new Advertising network.

Steve Jobs' recent announcement of the iAd technology is nothing short of revolutionary for the Advertising Industry.

With control over the  platform and the advertising network, Apple is really set to make some serious money.  By Jobs' estimates by the end of 2010, Apple will be serving 1 billion ads per day.  His calculations? 100 million users spend an average of 30 minutes a day in an App, and are served an ad every three minutes.

App developers are being encouraged to deploy the iAd technology inside their apps.  Apple will retain 40% of the adshare, and developers will make 60%.
