Chris, I know you meant well, but let us not… Shall we say, speculate like 
that? They may be breaking Apple nondisclosure agreement by telling you such 
information, and we really don't want anything that could do such a thing, to 
be made publicly available.
 With that, I would like to request that this topic stop, it is obvious that 
the issue that this topic began with has been resolved, and all we're really 
doing now is speculating, really not a lot of point in that especially since 
the release is only a couple days away.
Thanks,
Josh
