Did Gizmodo Want To Return The Phone With No Strings Attached?

0

Bruce Sewell (Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary) told authorities that after Gizmodo released its story regarding the iPhone Prototype that Steve Jobs (Apples CEO) contacted the editor of Gizmodo, Brian Lam. Jobs requested that Lam return the phone to Apple. Lam responded via email that he would return the phone to Apple on the condition that Apple provided him with a letter stating that the iPhone belonged to Apple. Here are parts of that email: “Hey Steve, this email chain is off the record on my side. I understand the position you`re in, and I want to help, but it conflicts with my own responsibilities to give the phone back without any confirmation that it`s real, from Apple, officially. Something like that – from you or Apple legal – is a big story that would make up for giving the phone back right away. If the phone disappears without a story to explain why it went away, and the proof it went to Apple, it hurts our business. And our reputation. People will say
