if you have a supposedly iphone 4 before release,
you contact Apple.
1_ if it is a fake, then Apple should nto get it back, as it is a fake, therefore not theirs.
2_ if it is real, and should be returned to Apple, then Apple should at least state that it is theirs, thus stating it is the iphone 4.

I don't see extortion there, same as I would rather give a wallet to the lost section at the airport, if the person telling me they want it returned does not prove to me, that it is theirs with some factual information.

extorsion ????!??!!?

You could make the "it had the Apple logo on there and it wasn't any known model so of course it had to belong to Apple" argument, but honestly it could well have been a fake. If it was a fake, then it rightfully belonged to Gizmodo and they would have had no obligation to give it to anyone. Asking Apple to state for the record that it was, in fact, their property doesn't really sound unreasonable -- even though it puts Apple in a position they really did not want to be in.

At any rate, if Apple had honestly considered it extortion in the *legal* sense of the word, they wouldn't have given in to the demand and provided the "we claim it as ours on the record" letter/email.]]>Jun 2nd 2010 1:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/steve-jobs-on-lost-iphone-4g-prototype-its-an-amazing-story/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/steve-jobs-on-lost-iphone-4g-prototype-its-an-amazing-story/Jun 2nd 2010 2:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/steve-jobs-on-lost-iphone-4g-prototype-its-an-amazing-story/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/steve-jobs-on-lost-iphone-4g-prototype-its-an-amazing-story/Jun 2nd 2010 10:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/steve-jobs-on-lost-iphone-4g-prototype-its-an-amazing-story/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/steve-jobs-on-lost-iphone-4g-prototype-its-an-amazing-story/

If I go and buy an Iphone from Craigslist, is that a felony?! California laws are as dumb as its governor, go eat dumbbells... ]]>Jun 2nd 2010 11:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/steve-jobs-on-lost-iphone-4g-prototype-its-an-amazing-story/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/steve-jobs-on-lost-iphone-4g-prototype-its-an-amazing-story/
And from what I've seen (and I've followed the story both here and on Giz) Giz bought it, gave it back to Apple, THEN found out it was stolen. Thus, why should they be prosecuted? It's not their fault.

Oh, right. Californian law. I'll pull my head out of my ass.]]>Jun 2nd 2010 12:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/steve-jobs-on-lost-iphone-4g-prototype-its-an-amazing-story/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/steve-jobs-on-lost-iphone-4g-prototype-its-an-amazing-story/
