After purchasing an iPad from a local Apple Store a Denver-area man was jumped by thieves who ripped off most of his pinky finger whilst yanking the bag away from him.

The man who was purchasing the iPad for a colleague admits to not even really understanding the fuss with Apple’s new product. After paying for the device he headed down the Apple stairs. The strings of the Apple bag were wrapped around his hand as he walked out. Read more…

Gizmodo has posted some background information about how they obtained the iPhone 4G prototype and who lost it in the first place.

Apple considers the iPhone 4G prototype being showcased around the web to be stolen property, not a lost device, according to Daring Fireball.

The new owner of the device said it was found on the floor of a San Jose bar inside an iPhone 3G case; however, this information can’t really be confirmed.

In Gizmodo’s hands-on report they note that Gruber said the device was reported lost and Apple wants it back. That isn’t technically correct as Gruber makes clear…

Note that I did not use the word “lost”. It is my understanding that Apple considers this unit stolen, not lost. And as for the “someone(s)” who “found” it, I believe it is disingenuous for Gizmodo to play coy, as though they don’t know who the someones are.

Similar to the last two years, AT&T sources say the company has put a block on employees taking vacation in June, according to the BGR.

The only time AT&T does a straight block like this is for iPhone launches. What’s interesting is, if AT&T is blocking June, perhaps the iPhone will launch a little earlier than July this year.

It has been rumored that Apple plans to unveil the new iPhone on June 22nd. Perhaps it will be available shortly after?
