@bandora: can you recommend me a good gadget site that's not a 'apple fanboy site'?

I think going after a journalist in this manner is plain wrong. Journalists shouldn't be bullied into revealing their sources in this way.

@silvermountain: thanks. they have a couple of ipad editorial pieces which talk favorably of the gadget too, albeit without the juvenille attitude associated with gizmodo/engadget.
@hangloose: thanks. i think they carry just about the same # of apple related news, albeit with less annoying (attitude) than engadget/gizmodo.
@texrat: lol a shop?
Getting back on topic...
I've found the following comments to hit the core of the matter:
Similar position as a fence or a chopshop?

I don't think other tech companies want that precedent set.
It is pretty clear that laws were broken in this case...especially with the fact that Gawker and Giz gloated over this situation...publishing their accounts...and if those stories don't line up with what they find on those computers...well...hope they get some better lawyers.
Let's be honest...they knew it was a real Apple prototype...because they paid $5k for it...and they should have known (as Engadget's legal team told them) that by purchasing said phone...they were breaking the law. By paying $5k for it...it made it a felony...and by doing it over State lines...it may even become a federal issue.

I would tend to agree that the actions by Mr. Chen suggest a crime took place. Why would he pay $5000 for a phone if he did not feel there was a chance to scoop a prototype product? Mr. Chen is trying to skirt his due diligence and state that he tried to contact Apple Support while brandishing an SR # as proof. I personally feel there will be a legal decision in the future that Mr. Chen did know this was a legal grey area and that Mr. Chen made insufficient effort to make it appear as if he tried to return the phone to its respectful owner. However, the act of purchasing a phone which was not his, knowing who the owner is, and exposing company prototype's secret workings to the world has got to lead to a conviction once the Apple's legal team sends the nuke.

And didn't they, themselves, out the person that most likely lost the device?
