ok folks, you can all calm down now. I got the inside scoop via a little birdy. this was absolutely not in any way a setup, the guy is terrified about his privacy now as the story grows. you can help out this poor unfortunate soul by letting me know if you see anyone digging up more personal info on him. he's good friends with a number of my close friends, so I'd like to help the guy out if I can. thanks.

Boy this story really had some arms and legs to it, eh?

I think that, if it's real, it's probably a temp casing to test features like the front camera, bigger battery, etc. It's interesting stuff, but I think Apple would have a much more refined product design.
just my 2¢

The second the trade "secrets" get left behind in a bar, they stop being secrets!!! Don't be an idiot. Think before talking.

It seems Gizmodo paid to get ahold of this stolen or misplaced prototype, I think shit just hit the fan. When Engadget posted pictures of it that was more than likely the guy who managed to get the prototype trying to make those websites to bid for the device and teasing them with pictures, now Gizmodo has a "hands on" article on it.
I believe some chairs have been thrown around and I'm not talking about Steve Ballmer...

Apple formally asked Gizmodo to return the iPhone

It will be interesting to see what happens from now on, and what kind of treatment will Apple give to Gawker/Gizmodo from now on...

§ 3426.1 Definitions:
(b) "Misappropriation" means:
(2) Disclosure or use of a trade secret of another without express or implied consent by a person who:
(B) At the time of disclosure or use, knew or had reason to know
that his or her knowledge of the trade secret was:
(ii) Acquired under circumstances giving rise to a duty to
maintain its secrecy or limit its use;also:
section 3426.1 (d)(1)(2)(d) "Trade secret" means information, including a formula,
pattern, compilation, program, device, method, technique, or process,
that:
(1) Derives independent economic value, actual or potential, from
not being generally known to the public or to other persons who can
obtain economic value from its disclosure or use; and
(2) Is the subject of efforts that are reasonable under the
circumstances to maintain its secrecy.3426.3. (a) A complainant may recover damages for the actual loss

unjust enrichment caused by misappropriation that is not taken into
account in computing damages for actual loss.
(b) If neither damages nor unjust enrichment caused by
misappropriation are provable, the court may order payment of a
reasonable royalty for no longer than the period of time the use
could have been prohibited.
(c) If willful and malicious misappropriation exists, the court
may award exemplary damages in an amount not exceeding twice any
award made under subdivision (a) or (b).- it's probably safe to say, apple could own gizmodo tomorrowquack

I highly doubt this is fake. I don't know if any of you guys have noticed, but Gizmodo have seriously whored themselves to Apple. iPad, iPad, iPad...
This is an Apple-funded stunt.

if it is legit, the basic shape looks a lot like the Zune HD... except the Zune looks nicer.

me believe this is a ploy by apple to change the subject about how ipad sales aren't that great, nothing better than release a 3d iphone composite to get fanboys talking,
while they quietly rethink the ipad 3g launch,where's my damm italian ipad!!!
