My manager encourages us to look to Steve Jobs for inspiration, and I was surprised I hadn't posted about some iPod and iPhone prototypes that were making the rounds a while back - one is this beauty of a breadboard mockup for the first iPod:
(I think the screen is about the size of what they had on the first production unit, which gives you an idea of what an absolute unit this is)
The other is competing prototypes for what would run on iPhone - when this video dropped people were surprised that a wheel-based concept was in the running. (But remember how psyched people were that iPhone ran a flavor of OSX? Now it seems inconsequential or obvious, like any gadget running a stripped down version of the linux kernel...)
