The same as new car pics (Score 1)

I may be missing something, but isn't this just like those persistant photographers following new cars not yet revealed to the public? Those cars are "hidden" under a camouflash so that even if they do take pictures of them, those pictures won't really tell what the car really looks like underneath. Sure, every so often, a good picture is taken and the hype for the new car to be released just goes up. Sure the car manufacturer might change a little something before release, but who cares, it's great publicity. Relating the car example with this, I would say that hidding a car under an exotic vail would be far more difficult than a gadget that is supposed to fit in your pocket or desktop. If Apple doesn't want the secret out, then they shouldn't share the secret until they're ready.
