With all the fanfare surrounding the release of the iPad 2 and the persistent rumors surrounding the next iPhone, news about the stolen iPhone 4 prototype a distant memory for some tech enthusiasts.
But the researchers are still working the case, and Stephen Wagstaffe, district attorney for the county of San Mateo, California on Thursday told CNet that it to an end as early as next month to come, when these researchers Wagstaffe present with their findings.
To refresh your memory, Gizmodo posted last year photos and videos of what it claimed to be a prototype of the next iPhone before the official launch of the iPhone 4. Later it was revealed that Gizmodo of 22-year-old Brian Hogan bought for $ 5,000 after it was left in a Redwood City bar by Apple employee Gray Powell.
Days later, police seized four computers and two servers from Gizmodo editor Jason Chen. The warrant said police were looking for property that was: the use of committing a crime; or tends to show that a crime was committed, or that a certain person has committed a crime.
In July and Gawker Media Gizmodo agreed to voluntarily about relevant documents to the authorities in return for the fact that the warrant declared invalid.
Prosecutors are conducting a felony theft investigation, but no charges have been filed, CNet said. It apparently has taken this long because researchers were busy with other cases. Hogan, Chen and Gawker Media can all be objectives of the research.
The investigation has led to questions of whether Gizmodo is protected as a news organization, or if the blog is liable, because the stolen goods purchased. Stay tuned.
