The first person on earth (outside of Apple Inc. and perhaps AT&T Wireless) to use an iPhone is Madonna, courtesy of Steve Jobs, according to Autoboard.
Autoboard reports, “Some time ago her daughter’s iPod screen deteriorated [and] Apple Support service replaced the player.”
Steve Jobs has found out about the problem and sent Madonna an iPhone as a very exclusive gift, an iPhone, according to Autoboard.
Autoboard has photos of an “iPhone” in Madonna’s hand in the full article here.
MacDailyNews Take: That’s not an iPhone, unless it’s a prototype. An image of Apple’s iPhone back from their “Hello” TV commercial on the left versus what Madonna was carrying [looks more like a black U2 iPod or black iPod or iPod with a dark reflection or Photoshop’d image] below:

nooooooooo
not that dried up old has been
did they see the picture and make up the story lol, clearly an ipod
Sure don’t look like an iPhone to me. The corners aren’t round enough.
Follow the link and check out her hands: time has NOT been kind!
MDN Magic Word: USED… uh huh!
Well, after all, she is a Material Girl.
Sorry, cheesy (couldn’t resist).
1st of April has come early this year
I’m not buying the story.
iPhones have the top button thingy on the right, not the let…its a pod…..
MDN is right, it’s just a normal iPod. Just another made up story for the hit counters.
Well now the race is over to see who’d be the first one to stick an iPhone in their koochie!
Madonna, can I use it when you’re done?
no iphone, u can easily see the hold button, and the mirror surface…
So the iPhone does include a vibrate mode. That’s good to know.
@Cleetus
That is SO WRONG.
I’m not saying I’m into Madonna at all, just sayin’
Bullshit. Madonna? Al Gore doesn’t get one but Madonna does? Yeah, that’ll happen.
It’s just a reflection. And I don’t think I would want to touch anything that woman has been handling. Ya don’t know where it’s been.
Nah, Dylan maybe
Wow, I’m surprised this isn’t as obvious to others as it is to me, but this picture clearly shows the shiny metallic backside of an iPod. The Apple logo you see is the one etched in the center of the metal case. The little bump on the top is the hold button, as others have pointed out. But, since you can’t see the front surface at all, why would anyone speculate that it’s black, U2, or any other color? It could be anything from a 3G iPod to any size iPod Video–they all look alike from the back.
If she has an iPhone I’m not buying a single Mac product again.
MR. Reeeeeeeeeee
Time is not kind to most of us. which if you don’t understand yet you soon will.
we all understand how we are desperate to wait for freaking iphone. but that photo IS NOT iphone. it’s ipod. they can’t even distinguish from the back iphone? plus, Steve gives no men such a special gift. even though they are celebrities. you know what? who will get iphone first? Apple board of trustee people.
Madonna is popular but doesn’t have power to grab IT world. in IT world, she is nothing.
you can see the hold button on top.
Gives new meaning to “iPhone bitch!”
