Where’s that boxcutter when you need it?

Don’t we all love it when a shipper delivers a box to our doorstep?

Well, some folk down under are beside themselves this weekend.

Australian Mac Community forum site MacTalk reports that they received a sealed box from Apple yesterday that is marked “Subject to terms of NDA. Do not open until Tuesday June 10th 2008.”

They suspect it’s a promotional iPhone 2.0 unit for display until supply actually becomes available. Other resellers across Australia (and presumably around the world) have received similar boxes under the same Non-Disclosure Agreement. This means the phone might not actually be available for purchase immediately after the WWDC announcement as initially hoped, at least outside the United States. Sigh.

(If it were me with the box, I don’t know if I’d have the restraint. Especially because I didn’t sign no stinkin’ NDA.)

Patience, patience. As they say in my country: dalawang tulog na lang.

this is foolishness

this is madness. knowing Apple, they wouldn’t be shipping things like this.

Jobs is the ultimate “mr secret” and sending out a box with a frigging label pasted in the “underside” (if you notice it) is not one of his trademarks.
