As I had blogged hours earlier, if Apple asks for the 4G IPhone Gizmodo has been reporting on, it would admit authenticity. They did it! CNET news reports that Apple's legal department has requested for the return of the device! Not much fanfare or comments from Apple, they just want back what belongs to Apple. My guess is to keep it from going to unwanted hands and risk greater exposure two months before actual release.
More.
