Don't care how good your sources are or if accurate or not... And I don't get the bragging either... It only really matters once it's actually in the Apple Store

It's pretty naive if not ignorant to think that employees of companies, friends and relatives of companies never look at these forums and post under an alias. It's a perfect place to look for feedback on a product, get first hand news of overlooked design flaws, bugs within code or how the next update can improve. Sales figures just show you marketed the hype on a product well, they don't tell you it was designed well (grip of death anyone).Until anything official and they start shipping, still just rumor...

I doubt Jeremey is bragging. He could be 14 year old kid for all we know. He's just a name on the web and a name on the web is, in my opinion, is hard to gain bragging rights. Now, these people that do know (and I do believe that Jeremy does know) are highly unlikely to name names and their sources. These names would probably find themselves out of a job, something you wouldn't want to do when it's a high profile global company like Apple or Microsoft etc. I earn my living with Microsoft products and I knew when Server 2003 was launched that the next version would be a more Unix CLI like modular installable OS....... 6 years before it was released, because I knew a person that knew first hand!
If you take time out to read the references given by other people and the fact that his past predictions have been correct, you might like to give the guy a bit of credit. It's these accurate predictions have probably saved people a lot of money. At the time I bought ipad 2, it's replacement release date was a wild rumour that I took at face value. After getting the pad and reading this forum more, I realised if I knew then what I knew now I would of waited for the next update. I even asked Apple while waiting for delivery about the next pad and was told they do not comment on product not officially announced.
Point is, people like Jeremy are providing a service, he's giving us a 'choice' that we will never get from Apple. No I aint kissing his arse either, we are on two different continents. He doesn't have to let us know his inside knowledge and if he just wanted to churn out a load of crap, he wouldn't have much credit on here would he? So it's not in his best interest to do so
I felt I had to reply to this length because I just don't think the way you waded in with those comments was needed.
It's a nice atmosphere on here, there's not much aggression, insults or dismissive behaviour. It's the only forum I come back to most days. I've got good tips and tricks from here I never knew about, let's keep it that way.
Your views are respected I totally agree with you with regards to what's available in the store is what counts, I think Jeremey will too. It is all hearsay, but it has tended to be quite accurate hearsay and I'd be willing to make a future purchasing decision based on it.
