Turns out the guy who found the Iphone 4 and sold it to Gizmodo regrets it as well. At least Gizmodo earned a pretty penny, though.
"Gizmodo told me they would give me $5,000 for the story, and another $3,000 after it was confirmed by Apple to be real. They knew that there was no way in hell I was going to be able to ask for the $3,000 after the story aired, but I didn't. I ended up having to hire and expensive lawyer and had to pay him much much more than $5,000."
