The 4G iPhone's Finder Reportedly Located
CNET is reporting that investigators have interviewed the person who found the unreleased Apple iPhone and began all the trouble. Wired reports that last week people "identifying themselves as representing Apple last week visited and sought permission to search the Silicon Valley address of the college-age man who came into possession of a next-generation iPhone prototype." "'Someone came to [the finder's] house and knocked on his door,' the source told Wired.com, speaking on condition of anonymity because the case is under investigation by the police. A roommate answered, but wouldn't let them in. ... News of Apple's lost iPhone prototype hit the Web like a bombshell, but it was apparently an open secret for weeks amongst the finder's roommates and neighbors, where the device was shown around mostly as a curiosity. ... 'There was no effort to keep it secret,' the source said. 'There were a bunch of people who knew.' ... Wired.com received an e-mail March 28 offering access to the device, but did not follow up on the exchange after the tipster made a thinly veiled request for money."
At least he made an attempt (or claims that he did). By law, he's not required to do that. What's more American than trying to make a quick buck?
I disagree. What exact law did this guy break? I'm assuming the story as reported it truthful in that he found the phone and didn't steal the phone. The answer is no law was broken. If you can prove he actually stole it then you got a case.
It's really wonderful that they've found evidence of the Finder added to the 4G iPhone OS. Strange that Steve didn't announce it as a feature of iPhone OS 4.0.
Now we'll be able to manage our files and folders at last! ... ..
(Pssst. it's a joke, I'm not THAT stupid)
