The developer of iBART, a public transportation guide for San Francisco, has spotted an iPhone3,1 user in their log files, according to MacRumors.

PinchMedia who provides the analytics for the application breaks down customer usage including what specific devices are being used. This list of devices is reported to developers using internal device identification numbers assigned by Apple. In this case, "iPhone3,1" was first spotted in Pandav's usage logs in November. This "iPhone3,1" identifier does not match up with any shipping iPhones. The last iPhone released to the public was the iPhone 3GS which carries the identification string "iPhone2,1".

MacRumors indicates that Apple began testing the iPhone 3GS (iPhone2,1) in October of 2008 about 8 months ahead of its launch. Testing of iPhone2,1 was also spotted in the San Francisco Bay Area.
