I've seen nothing about any attempts to return the phone..any links rev? On Apr 28, 2010 6:59 PM, "Stewart Marshall" <[email protected]> wrote:
Lousy analogy Tom. You act as if you have not read any of what has been written about this item. The fact is the item was left by absent minded techie at bar. Item was turned into bar tender who has no idea whose it is. (I wonder how many folks had been there that night and had phones?) Good faith attempts were made to return said item to Apple, but because of Apples own compartmentalization no one knew what they were talking about. I cant remember how the Gizmodo guy got it at that point but he did, he then did a review and took it apart analyzed etc. etc. When he had it back together and working he sent it back. It is only after the fact that they have raided the guys house and not charged him with anything. I wonder what the search warrant said? You have to lay part of the blame here at Apple for being careless with their tech stuff, and being a little paranoid. This is not the first time someone has lost a prototype and someone else got it to look at and review. This would make it one of the first times that the reviewer has been criminalized for someone elses careless behavior. Is the Gizmodo guy totally innocent here, I don't think so, but he saw a chance to be one of the first to see review and look at a prototype of Iphone. But I also see Apple going over the top here and making themselves look really really stupid and heavy handed. Especially since they had the phone back already. And I would venture to say if this had been a Windows Mobile 7 phone that had had this happen to it, you would be jumping up and down saying way to go Gimodo!!!! You tend to be so predictable Tom.
