It is kind a hard to keep secret, when everyone is watching everything you do and who you talk too. Monitoring all of your patents and your manufactors that you use.
A little bit of leaked information is a great way to keep people latched onto the companies progress. I imagine the lap up a li'l bit of the limelight when people become obsessed with unreleased or announced hardware but to an extent Apple have always kept a close guard on their best kept secrets.
I guess apple does leak some stuff on purpose...
but when you see how many have gotten sued; the big announcements they still try to keep a secret.
(just my personal guess)
To keep everything locked up isn't a good idea. What one person might think is a good idea, many people might not find useful.
A rumor creates a good buzz, it would be something Apple might want to look into.
Am I convinced it is done on purpose? No. Most of what I read I don't read into too far. I'll wait till I can feel it with my grubby little hands before I go nutty.
