I really don’t see what’s wrong with speculation about a new product before it comes out, though I do see the issue with the way some of the tech sites have been writing about it. It seems to me that this is exactly what Apple wants from a marketing perspective, or else the rumors likely would not have started (they are awfully good at keeping things quiet, even if a few Chinese factory workers have to “commit suicide”). It could backfire though if the product doesn’t live up to the hype, and this thing is going to have to be really good to live up to the hype.
