Could be Apple's counter-intelligence getting out there; thus the extra stuff like multi-touch screens to try and distract us. I'm on the side of being wary of this report.
So they're posting a rumor from an anonymous source along with mock-ups they created. Right. How is this supposed to be more credible than any other rumor site?
The assumption is that Wired's editors hold their sources to a higher standard than a nothing-to-lose blog like 9to5mac.
The mockups are well done, and they claim they're based on their source's descriptions. It's about as good a job as you can do with an insider tip, if that's what they have. Of course the source is anonymous - did you think they would reveal the inside source's name?
Whether it's true or not, I don't know, but the fact that they're not revealing the source shouldn't be what you judge the rumor on; you should judge it on Wired's record and the feasibility of the claim.
