Actually no, you’re just blind. Quite a few blogs have been reporting that the iPhone was shown on the failing TV series “Lost”. Look at that screenshot above. Do the icons look similar to the iPhone’s? Sure. But what about the length of that device and the fact that it has a map on the screen? Hmmm, doesn’t look like much of an iPhone anymore.
Perhaps if everyone had taken a second before posting their “iPhone on Lost!” articles, they would have realized that every single movie and TV show in the past 15 years has always had an incredibly fake computerized device that does everything. In this case, it happens to have iPhone-esque buttons. Next time, don’t jump to conclusions, just wait until late June outside a Cingular store.

If you look closely at the buttons on the LOST phone, you can see that they are from the iPhone (e.g. the middle button in the top row is an OSX “home” button).

I don’t think any website said that was an OFFICIAL iPhone, but, just RESEMBLING and iPhone (and it does to a great extent). If you blow up the photo there are clear similarities of the 2 devices and I’m sure they were just paying homage to the iPhone.

Funny, 14 million live viewers a week makes a show a “failure”.

I could be an iPhone since I believe this show is taking place in the future. If you remember back to an episode from earlier this season one of the guards was reading reading Stephen Hawking’s “A Brief History of Time”. In the book Hawking discusses the possibility of time travel, perhaps some foreshadowing.
