Apple Bans Gizmodo From WWDC 2010 Over iPhone 4G Leak

Its the payback time for Gizmodo as Apple is banning them from attending WWDC 2010 event for coverage. Apple sends invitation cards to iDevice developers and some selected bloggers every year to cover WWDC event. Now it seems that Gizmodo won’t be receiving an invitation.

WWDC 2010

Few months ago, A member of iPhone development team lost his iPhone 4G in a German bar which was found by someone and later bought by Gizmodo for a price of $5,000. Gizmodo editors and some officials faced serious consequence for their act as police raided their house, seized their computer, servers and the iPhone.

Apple has so far not filed any lawsuit against Gizmodo, however Steve Jobs praised the work of Police and also mentioned that it is still not clear if the found iPhone was dropped by the developer in the bar or stolen from his bag.

You can learn more about this fiasco from Gizmodo’s own blog over here.
