The process of leaking a prototype device to generate buzz about a product you don't quite yet have ready for market to a friendly tech website who will promote the gizmo well before it's ready to go.
Gizmodo's finding of that Apple iPhone 4G months before it's released is clearly a case of protohype.

A solid brass pipe sold in headshops that has several unique parts to it, such as a bowl cover lid that swivels, a poker, a tar trap and a small compartment for stashing weed.
"Dude, you want to get high? I've got my protopipe."

Brandname and type of self contained pipe.
Has many unique features including a swiveling removeable (with alan wrench) bowl cover, screenless bowl, poker that is also used to clean the pipe and remove "tar" (resin) trap, chamber to store extra pot, and removable "tar" (resin) trap at the bottom of the bowl for easy cleaning/unclogging.
Very handy indeed
When I carry my protopipe around with me I never have to look for a poker, my bowl never spills, and I can carry around some extra sum-sum in the chamber for when the bowl gets cashed.

I love my protopipe

Super Mario 64: 1995 Prototype 

The Super Mario 64: 1995 Prototype is a fictional prototype of the game for the Nintendo 64, named Super Mario 64.

Not much is known about this prototype, aside from the fact it was VERY experimental, testing out new AI that Nintendo got from another Japanese company, thatallowed the game to change itself to fit one's 'Cognitive Desires', which means this prototype is different on every cartridge. Deisgn wise, it didn't look like your happy-go-lucky Super Mario game. The player model was a low poly, featureless man. The castle itself was rather eerie, with few light sources, and the basement was an elaborate mess of hallways.

Testers were called in to experiment with the technology, and it was working fine, except from one odd observation. Prolonged exposure to the basement in the prototype casued severe migraines. One tester, when Nintendo checked in on them after leaving them overnight, they were found in a delusional state, mumbling to themselves, in which they had to be wheeled away to hospital.

New testers were warned to NOT go to the basement for whatever reason.

After new testers were developing stroke-like symptoms from overexposure, Nintendo stopped new testers coming in, and cut all cartridges with the personalised AI.

If you've ever played a friend's Super Mario 64 cartridge, and felt something was off, now you know why.
Person A: Ever heard of the Super Mario 64: 1995 Prototype?
Person B: ...No.
