How can a journalist, who writes a piece about the iPhone 4G proto and then spends half his article praising "good hard reporting", get the name of the product

  Just because someone makes a trivial mistake does not invalidate their argument.

    But it does call into question their command of the facts and the small yet important details of the situation. In my opinion it was quite evident throughout the article that Malone had not studied the situation sufficiently and did not seem to be aware of the California penal code provisions which can make lost property stolen, the Wired story which implied that Hogan made no effort to return the phone and what level of actual power over day-to-day decisions Apple would enjoy on the REACT steering board. Are they even in a position to order a raid? Malone writes as though that's an uncontested fact, but that's hardly true.

  The product, having not yet been officially unveiled, does not have an official name. The casing itself says only "iPhone." The letter from Apple said "a device that belongs to Apple." "G4" can be considered to stand for "generation four" and indeed this was a naming method used by Apple for iMacs and other products. Just because a lot of people think the name will be "4G" doesn't make him wrong.
