More Prototype iPhone Loss/Theft Drama

19 Apr
2010

As I was editing the previous video on the controversy surrounding the new iPhone, I saw that Gizmodo had posted a story regarding how the iPhone was “lost”: http://gizmodo.com/5520438.

Apparently a drunk Apple software engineer left it on a bar stool. The rest of the details between that event and Gizmodo obtaining it are still SUPER shady. I didn’t mention it in the video, but theawl has a good story summarizing how Gizmodo confessed the loss but not the part you can go to jail for: http://www.theawl.com/2010/04/gizmodo-semi-explains-the-iphone-but-not-about-title-18-sec-2314 This is getting ugly fast.

    I really feel the Apple engineer. Poor bastard. I hope he gets to keep his job.

    I have to agree with Bwana about the whole “step 2: ???” in this story. This is either going to go really, really good for Gizmodo, or this month may have seen the last coverage of an Apple press event by Gizmodo (at least for the foreseeable future).

    I'm Not Quite Sure this gets them off the hook just yet, there is still alot missing from this story. Who Was the first person to obtain it from the bar, and whos hands did it go through to get to Gizmodos? Questions i hope to see the answers to on the near future.
