It’s official: Jon Stewart has weighed in on the lost iPhone prototype investigation.

First an Apple engineer lost the next-generation iPhone prototype at a bar. Then gadget blog Gizmodo bought the device and revealed it to the world. Soon even David Letterman was making jokes about the lost iPhone.
