But another rumor to possibly follow is fine with me. In the end, a rumor is a rumor - regardless of who's saying.. whether its Engadget claiming they talked to some unknown source that's friends with Eric Schmidt or a random member on here. Nothing is concrete until an official announcement is made. So as with all rumors, you obviously would be naive to fully trust it, however, following it for what it's worth is not harming anyone including yourself. I think you said it best in your last line.. trust but verify. But when the means to verify aren't possible, then you take what you can get
