This was theft by conversion (or worse). There were no “free speech” issues here. I have a feeling the investigation will discover this was more than a case of a drunk Apple employee forgetting the iPhone in a bar.

When lost property is found, it is the responsibility of the finder to return it. Not doing so can be considered stealing. Instead this "finder" sold it (for a sizable reward) to Gizmondo who, realizing its value and public interest, opened it up, scrutinized and published the pictures for its own profit, before returning it to the owner.

Bad techie website, no kilobits for you.
