iPhone+ on eBay

Please choose the appropriate forum for this topic. Thank you. Ok, i was just randomly searching through eBay for anything i had not seen before, i clicked for the catagory of 'Cell Phones' with searching 'iPod' and it came up with this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...763243852&rd=1
I read the story and chuckled at this not thought out scam scrolled the page, then i read his payment terms saying that the winning bidder would only have to make his payment once they recieved the "iPhone+" and was fully satisfied. i then checked out his link he had on there, i had to register my email, but once that was all said and done i got this page:
http://www.iotogo.com/email/03-24-05_Article.htm
i found it to be more of a reliable source (to see what it had to say about the iPhone+ scroll to where it has 5. The Apple Rumor) i started to actually question "could this be real?"

* iPod Music Player (lots of Gigs to store music)
* Built in Cell Phone
* A Personal Information Manager – Phonebook, Schedule, Notepad. Lots of numbers in the phonebook. You will have to figure out how to erase those
* Voice Recorder
* Web browser and eMail program
* GPS Navigation
* Satellite TV Reception – You might have to subscribe to DirecTV
* Satellite Radio receiver – You might have to subscribe to this too but the Radio Shack guy said it’s less than $15 a month
* A directional microwave cooker – We pushed a button and got a cup of water to boil in about one minute
* Taser – One of those shocker self defense things
It's not a scam, it's a joke.
