Gizmodo Off the Hook In iPhone 4 Investigation

Posted by samzenpus on from the no-harm-no-foul dept.

An anonymous reader writes "When Gizmodo ran photos of Apple's iPhone 4 months before Apple even officially acknowledged it existed, the blogosphere exploded with excitement. But when details leaked explaining how Gizmodo came to find itself in possession of a pre-release iPhone 4, that excitement quickly turned into indignation, and for some, anger. Now, Gimzodo and Gizmodo editor Jason Chen have been let off the hook by the San Mateo DA's office."

    What you see here is a corporation abusing the legal system for no other reason than to protect their ass.

    How did Apple abuse the system? What exactly did they do?

    Of course if the guy had been given the chance to debug the device, perhaps he would have found that pesky little antenna issue.

    What "antenna issue"? The one that is so awful that Apple has sold many tens of millions of iPhone 4's, making the iPhone 4 the most popular smartphone out there? Even over a year after its release?

    Wow, that's some issue!
