It isn't just TS that's reporting this, I don't think they were even close to the first, it's all over the place and has been for quite some time.

Thinks Secret have a long history of second guessing Apple's product announcements. Sometimes they are correct and sometimes not.
Permalink to CommentThe reason they got into a jam with Apple last time around had less to do with talking about future product releases and more to do with with quoting verbatim from documents covered by an NDA.
It helps to keep things in perspective and not, consciously or otherwise, add to the library of urban myths.

I'd have to disagree, PXLated. I've been following these stories pretty closely, and there's a difference in the ThinkSecret piece:
a. Whereas most stories openly admit that they are speculative and rumor, this one speaks with a little more tone of authority. (There's little to back it up, so it's just tone, but still it makes me wonder what's behind it. TS has probably kept just enough cards to their breast to avoid getting sued again.)
b. There are more details in this story than have been reported before, as indicated by the "EXCLUSIVE" header. For example, there are specifics about not only the capacities of the new mini, but also the screen size and resolution, as well as product pricing.

I guess we'll have to disagree :-)
Permalink to CommentA) Tone...That's just style over substance.
B) The only things new I saw in TS were screen size/resolution (no biggie) and price speculation. The biggest changes...Flash, color screen, smaller, etc. have been speculated/reported widely.
