Apple helped make 'top secret' iPod for US government
Many years ago I worked on open source MP3 player firmware at Rockbox.org, we created a feature to develop skins for the UI so you could make it look exactly like the original firmware if you wanted. Why wouldn't they use that, from the secrecy of their own office, instead of asking Apple (or any other manufacturer) to participate and risk the kind of "leak" that we see now?
