Following up on news from earlier today: Ryan Singel of Wired News tweets, "Gizmodo outs its iPhone 4G source in return for getting editor's computers back from cops. That's fearless journalism." From the Wired News piece: "Asked if Gizmodo will provide police with the names of its sources, [San Mateo County Chief Deputy District Attorney Stephen] Wagstaff replied only that they have agreed with [Gizmodo's] defense attorney [Thomas] Nolan that anything beyond the computer documents — such as what went on around the story, or what his client's motives might have been — would be answered by Nolan, not Chen or Gizmodo." Oddly, though, other outlets reported that it was Wired News, not Gizmodo, that outed Gizmodo's source.
