Seems to be a good marketing tactic.

just wait a couple of weeks, all should be revealed during September...

This creates hype for Apple, I also think thy do it intentionally...

I almost want to believe the same.

From the covers and hinted icons all over the place, I pretty much believe there is a lot of people that already know how its going to look like, now we know how

Example:

Hmm, that looks very much like the SGS2.

There is going to be another patent court case soon.

Apparently Apple employees need to drown their sorrow ever year.

Lol I think its either a marketing ploy or someone at their R&D centre is doing it on purpose. Two phones within a space of two year, too fishy.

I thought Apple = innovation. Haven't they used this one before?

On the other hand this explains the antenna issues with the iPhone 4, oversight happend when your testers are always drunk.

Is the reality distortion field at Apple that bad?

 

[inferno]

They do all this for exposure.

Yup. Might have been a techie last time, but I'm sure it is a marketer this time.

Wouldn't selling it be sale of stolen goods, especially considering the high profile nature of the lost device... Tracking it should be relatively easy, especially if sold on Craigslist... Seems like a hype attempt.
