Is that the first direct Apple admission that iPhone glass is made by Corning (other than the Isaacson biography)?
Yes, the first official admission.

It seems that the suppliers of the various pieces of the case are where the most serious leaks are coming from. These suppliers can do the most damage by letting it out that Apple is redesigning an old product or coming out with something totally new. Apple has been able to control any news of electronic product spec changes much better.
Interesting that I just happened to be watching a National Geographic piece on North Korea, their secrecy from the rest of the world, and absolute dictatorial power of one man. Perhaps Apple should open factories there?

When Apple released that Job Creation page and report months ago they listed Corning and Kentucky.

This is a bit of a relief. At least *this* key part of Apple's culture is intact.
Steve Jobs is up there somewhere, smiling. And so am I.
