both party's at fault.. Powell should have been more careful and responsible, and Chen should have just contacted apple when he realized it was an authentic unit,because really, the phone isn't even released yet,so it's still classified as confidential and releasing it to the entire world is not really cool.
So much news about a damn cell phone. It's simple....this guy had the chance to reveal the first video on the new Iphone and went for it. I have no idea why he tries to talk around that and make it sound so complicating. He should be a damn attorney because being that I attended law school for a short while, the first thing they teach you is how to talk around the facts to where it is so complicating people forget what the so called crime was to begin with.
isn't this actually sxephil and Chens falt but more sxephil because he made a video of a iPhone 4g way before the Chen made his video cheak out sxephil's video iPhone 4G lost or sxephil iPhone 4G
@efadaei They operate worse than a Nazi army? One leak causes you to say that? Don't jump to conclusions. Apple is one of the best companies at keeping secrets before this leak. You think it's easy to keep a big corporate project a secret in today's world? AT&T execs, and not to mention all of the factory workers who started making iPhone 4 before the launch, knew about the details before the public did. That's a few hundred to trust a secret with.
and now so many Tech Geeks will yell " na na na na, look i've new iphone...............(and blah blah blah).............."
really i think Apple only know how to advertise and sell some stupid looking gadgets but seriously they're far away from need of people and new technology.
Iphone is also made in China...LOL..so yeahh WTF does it matter!, just free Chen!. It's just a phone with aaaaalot of widgetssss, but still the most of them are not very useful.PEEPSS pls think and look good what Apple does, they are just trying to be another ' Windows microsoft style' (monopoly concept). just give the date when the phone is going to be release! f*ck all the crap stories around it!
apple should be happy he was promoting the phone wasnt like he was sayin bad stuff about it and like everybody didnt already know about this phone way before all this bs
They actually didn't "steal it", they simply purchased stolen property and Should have torn it apart and THEN given it back to Apple once they "realized" who owned it (if at all possible) They simply used it for a short period of time to study it. Strange case...
Jason i thank you for that last comment about apple telling us when, where and how much. Fuck Apple. Even if this aint the final product at least we know whats in store. If they give us less then this it will be bad!!
U bought stolen property chink!

Chen is a Douche bag,the reason why this is horribly bad for Apple is because other smart phones are just gonna copy cat.
