I'll let you be the judge: I'm no expert on OMPs, and notice that he doesn't actually show the screen with the copyright on it...

If it is a prototype, I am skeptical... It would have been in a clear case or had it's prototype name written on it (Batman?). If not then it is a very late prototype, maybe made a few weeks before release.

i doesn't show a picture of it starting up, or a picture of the prototype sticker. if it doesn't go too high it might be worth having, but i'm skeptic.

It would also be interesting to see a picture of the back. Given that the front says "Newton" rather than "MessagePad", then it should date from the time when this was the "Newton NotePad" as would be denoted on the back.

Yep, those pop up occasionally. There was one on ebay last week. I forgot how much it went for though.
