If the guy from Gizmodo had found the phone, then there would be no crime. But he bought a phone from someone that they knew did not own it. That's against the law. It's why the other tech sites said no.

This will cost Apple tens of millions of dollars, all because a company committed a crime, and Apple is the party in all this your calling a dick?

Come on.

I'm really eager to hear why you think this.  Do you think this story magically made people stop wanting iphones, or that when the next hardware revision is released all the apple fans will just give them the middle finger because they already know what it looks like? 

All this was was free publicity for apple.  I have zero sympathy for them.

You could ask Adam Osborne...

Edit: The other problem with this kind of thing, is often in a prototype, there are features that don't make the final cut. What do you think would have happend to iPad sales if this was an iPad two months before launch, and it had a camera in it?
