I totally agree.

Funny thing , i noticed that nobody made an effort to return phone to Gray Powell (who allegedly lost it) !!

That just goes to prove that their story is far from truth.

Engineer losses the phone , guy finds it and finds the name , facebook account .. of the person that lost it. And instead calling the person that actually lost phone , he calls apple ???
And then sells that to Gizmodo.

Do you see huge holes in that story.

Truth is probably much different !

I cant understand that somebody would actually would believe this story.

If you look the stories from gizmodo you can easily conclude that iphone4g was stolen. First of all the person who allegedly "found" , knew who lost it immediately (they say he looked at his facebook page on iphone). But at no time they contacted that person to return it , even doe they knew persons name and facebook page (they claim that they contacted apple , in my humble opinion i think they were just trying to check how much goods are worth). First thing that gizmodo should have done is contact engineer who lost it (because there was not proof that apple actually owned it) , then again they contacted apple (basicaly to check again is it real). And after they found out it is real, they took it apart. And if that wasnt enough they published the name of person from who it was stolen ("found"). Shame on you gizmodo.

I for one have to agree with apple's removal of those apps. I dont know how those apps slipped trough review process , but it created uneven plain-field among developers. I dont mind hard work but i mind when i dont have same treatment as some other developer , i suspect decision to pull those apps was made because complaints from other developers or bug reports, even change in that api might be a reason for application being pulled! Company or developer made calculated risk when they used private api in their application, and suspect their risk was wary well payed off.
