Although there are rumors about plenty of tech companies, Apple's fan-boy following assures that the gossip fire hose is always at full blast. In fact, it often feels as though the iPhone generates more breathless chatter than Tom Cruise, the Kardashians, and Linsanity combined.

Well there you have it, folks. Apple rumors are as reliable as the guidebook in Herman Melville's "Redburn." If there is one thing that is true, it is Apple's devotion to secrecy and the legacy of control that Steve Job's has bequeathed the company.

Apple products are popular. They are well-designed and often very innovative. So people will be interested. But the company's relationship to its own news, along with the excess of personal worth its fans continue to dump into its every move assure both a proliferation of rumor and the unreliability of those rumors. It is probably best, in the long run, to consider any pre-launch "news" to be simply a jumping-off point for discussion. The only?definitive?source on Apple is Apple.
