"By now, practically everyone has seen Gizmodo's video of what is said to be a next generation iPhone \u2014 well, about 3.5 million people worldwide have seen it, at least. The incident itself, in which a hapless Apple employee named Gray Powell misplaces the phone at a bar, has attracted the attention of myriad news sites as well as its share of speculation. Now the question is: Will all of the buzz amount to greater sales?According to Visible Measures' blog, the 10-second clip of the yet-to-be-released phone was the top-viewed video on YouTube yesterday in the United States, Australia, Canada, the UK, New Zealand, Israel, Sweden and several other countries. It also racked up more than 3.5 million views and 9,000 comments in just three days. \nVisible Measures further states that the virality of this video has far surpassed that of the much-watched iPad commercial, which garnered around 1.7 million views in 72 hours (this data does not, however, include views from Apple.com \u2014 the numbers were tracked from video-sharing sites like YouTube, DailyMotion, Metacafe, Yahoo and more than 150 others). \nThat's a lot of views under normal circumstances, and the iPad is now doing more than well in terms of sales. If we were to equate buzz with cash, it seems like the iPhone HD (or whatever it turns out to be called) will do quite well.\nStill, interest in the iPad was built mostly on the merit of its functionality, rather than scandal (although it did have its share of rumors and leaks). While people seem eager to check out the upcoming iPhone and all of its shiny new features, we can't forget the \"sexy\" element: An Apple employee left the thing at a bar (hell, someone created a Facebook Fan Page for the poor guy, which now has more than 7,000 fans) and Gizmodo shelled out $5,000 for the device.\nNow, what we want to know is, are you more amped up now to get your hands on the device than you were before the leak? Take our poll below!\n\n\n\n\tHow were you affected by the iPhone leak?customer surveys\n\n\n\n\n\nFor more mobile coverage, follow Mashable Mobile on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
