So just how much can journalists get away with by pulling the "but I'm a journalist" card? It's clear that everything the journalist did was illegal... I really think gizmodo is wrong in all of this...

that's probably true. any action other than returning the device to it's owner could probably be considered theft. therefore, buying a "stolen" device would be a bad idea.

The only legal way to do it would be to take photos and blog about it, then return it.

definitely, and i think thats why apple wants to send them a message.

more details of the police investigation and how it really happened:

  Quote

In the documents, it’s revealed that Steve Jobs personally contacted Gizmodo about getting the phone back (Gizmodo responded that it wanted Apple to officially state that the phone was theirs). It also reveals that Apple has claimed that Gizmodo damaged the prototype iPhone during the course of taking it apart:

 

“Sewell said that upon returning to Apple, employees attempted to power the phone and found that it no longer functioned. Upon examining the phone, they found the following damage occurred to it as a result of the phone being disassembling[sic]:

1. Broken ribbon cable

2. One screw was inserted into the wrong location and caused an electrical short

3. Back plate snaps were broken.

4. Stripped Screws.”

 

At one point in the document, the story of how Gray Powell probably lost the phone is detailed (note that this supports the claims by Gizmodo that it was not actually stolen out of Gray Powell’s possession):

 

“Powell said he sat at the bar with his uncle. He said the last memory he had of the prototype phone was placing it in his bag, which he then put on the floor by his feet. Powell said that his bag was knocked over at one point in time and it was possible the prototype iPhone fell out of the bag onto the floor.

 

I asked Powell if it was possible that someone stole the prototype iPhone from his bag. He said he did leave his bag with his uncle at one point during the evening when he went to the bathroom and it was possible, although unlikely, that someone removed the prototype iPhone from his bag”.

 

But most interesting, at least on our first read-through of the documents, are the bizarre chain of events that took place as the investigation closed in on Brian Hogan and Thomas Warner — the two young men allegedly working together to sell the phone after Hogan found it in a bar. Police were allegedly tipped off about the involvement of the two men by their roommate, a woman named Katherine Martinson, who was concerned that she would be considered an accomplice to the young men because Hogan had used her computer to try syncing the iPhone 4G prototype.

 

“Orloff said that Witness Martinson contacted him due to the fact that Suspect Hogan connected the stolen iPhone to her computer and she believed that Apple would eventually trace the iPhone back to her via IP address. Therefore she contacted Apple in order to absolve herself of criminal responsibility…”

 

The documents allege that when Martinson tried to talk Hogan out of selling the iPhone because it would “ruin the carer of Robert ‘Gray’ Powell”, Hogan responded “Sucks for him. He lost his phone. Shouldn’t have lost his phone.”

lol @ the apple bullshit-bingo

looks real nice

Looks good, and the free os update for 3GS users is appreciated

Its always the same thing. Someone forgets about it on a bar and it information is acidentally leaked. Anwyay, these things are getting so expensive that i don't even care anymore. I am fine with what i have.

oh noes, now i want an iPad with the per inch resolution of this new phone!

just noticed on fb/twitter that the first hours after an emotional jobs presentation are the best to witness the raging fanboy in its most natural behaviour.

What kind of multi-tasking are you going to be doing on an iPhone-sized screen?

plus at&t is taking people early as well so people wont be spending $500 on this one. looks like most people are eligible after a year.

I don't know an iPhone so I don't know, but does the current lack of multi-tasking prevent people from listening to music while surfing the web? If so, LOL.

No.

I can see multitasking being good for loading websites while you're doing other stuff, but not too sure otherwise

No.

right, you can do anything while listening to music through itunes, but say you were listening to pandora, you couldnt play a game at the same time before this.

the addition of the folders is huge. i have been wishing that since the 2nd day i ever had the phone.

doing stuff while listening to Spotify/Youtube. Reading a book while listening to music. Listening to music while playing certain games.

Multitasking will be pretty sweet... not the biggest issue though. My main gripe is that my iPhone 3 is just sooooo slow. Everything takes an age to boot.

The camera sounds sweet. Can't say I'm really that fussed about the screen, personally i think the current one is adequate for anything you want to do on it.

i guarantee you multitasking is gonna kill battery life, hence the bigger battery in iphone 4.
