Seems they don't like leaks very much.

Police have seized computers and servers belonging to an editor of Gizmodo in an investigation that appears to stem from the gadget blog's purchase of a lost Apple iPhone prototype.

Apple or the police? I think the paperwork starts/stops with the attorney general.

Contrary to popular belief, Apple does not control the police force. They reported what happened, and the police take it from there...

Well. At least that 100% confirms that it probably was the final version of iPhone4. =P

I doubt Police would not have gotten involved if Apple hadn't gone to them and filed a complaint.

I followed Gizmodo until they started bragging about how they got the 4th-generation iPhone. It was unethical at best, especially after they threw some guy under the bus. And that was enough to make me stop reading their stuff.

That's the logical thing to do.

If Apple doesn't pursue gizmodo to the best of their ability then they are setting precedence of letting go/being weak toward future leaks.

They will use the law & legal system first, but who knows what strings they'll pull if this police action fails.

But reading the gizmodo response letters, I have a feeling that the guy was ready for something like this...
