(eBay)
Forget the new iPad. A prototype of Apple's WALT, or "Wizzy Active Lifestyle Telephone," sold on eBay on Sunday for $8,000, sending gadget geeks and Apple fanboys into a frenzy. The reason? Apple introduced the device at MacWorld Boston in 1993, but never put the then-state-of-the-art product on the market.
"I have decided it's time to let go of the jewel of my collection," the seller, Russell400 of West Linn, Ore., wrote in the original eBay listing. "The W.A.LT. is an incredibly rare find and will make your collection the envy of all the Apple fanatics out there."
