Gizmodo, un des principaux sites de gadgets, publie des infos sur l'iPhone 4G, prochaine version - encore ultra secrète - des joujoux en or de Steve Jobs. Une histoire à dormir debout avec une touche de rocambolesque, assez d'infos pour exciter les geeks et cette petite dose de scandale possible qui fait les meilleures "unes". L'appareil, apparemment un prototype, semble avoir été trouvé dans un bar de Silicon Valley à 30 kilomètres du siège d'Apple. Gray Powell, ingénieur de 27 ans, l'aurait oublié sur son tabouret après avoir posté un message sur Facebook célébrant les vertus éthyliques des bières allemandes. Les gens de Gizmodo ont démonté l'appareil et en exposent les principales caractéristiques sur leur site.
Ken Sweet poses the question to Nick Denton about the 'iPhone 4G': click the photo for Denton's answer Did Gizmodo buy that iPhone 4G it's been showing off ? Ken Sweet asked whether Gizmodo had bought the "found" iPhone 4G, and Nick Denton replied : yup.
Engadget said that the "finder" (who some are referring to as a "stealer") was charging to see the "lost" new iPhone-pictures of which were published on Gizmodo this morning. Tech blogger John Gruber said the phone was a "total hoax," but seems to have backed down on that; now he says "That this belongs to and was made by Apple is almost beyond question at this point." He also says that Apple considers the phone "stolen." Gawker honcho Nick Denton promises that the story of the iPhone's acquisition is coming, and it's a "corker." (" Slang : A remarkable or astounding person or thing.") It's going to be a big double-dare to Apple's legal department, we think-and also intended to be a big middle finger to Gizmodo's chief competitor, Engadget.
