Apple Knocks Off Gizmodo From WWDC Over iPhone 4 Leak

Its no suprize that Apple is not letting Gizmodo in to WWDC 2010 on June 7th where Steve Jobs will himself announce the next iPhone 4.

By now, everyone knows the reasons. Gizmodo bought an iPhone 4 prototype which it claims was found on the floor of a bar. Apple on the other hand calls Gizmodo guys theives and blames that they bought the stolen iPhone. Apple has not yet filed a lawsuit against Gizmodo and is investigating the matter through police which raided Gizmodo Editor Jason Chen’s home in his absence, broke the main door and took away all of his computers and many gadgets. Steve Jobs however – while engaged in an email discussion – disagreed to admire that police actually raided Chen’s house and called it the “ernonous blogger reports”. During an interview at D8 conference a few days back, Steve Jobs personally talked on the matter and admired police raids on Chen’s home. He also said that there’s an ongoing debate on whether the iPhone 4 prototype wa found on the floor of a Geman bar or was taken from the bag of Apple’s engineer. Jason Chen, who actually was at the front face of iPhone 4 drama, seems to be posting on Gizmodo very few often. May be he is indulged in some legal issues with Apple.

I don’t know which turns this story has to take but Apple has Slapped Gizmodo pretty badly. Gizmodo was not only not invited to the WWDC – as expected – but also Apple is not responding to their requests to attend WWDC. May be asking for mercy isn’t a good idea here.
