Example 1: My boss' girlfriend heard from someone who knows a guy at Nike that Apple is working on an Apple Shoe.
Example 2: My buddy on the street that knows everyone says that Apple is working with Motorola on a phone.
Bottomline; if you don't want to be called a rumormonger in this business... don't rely on non-direct sources. Both those situations probably did happen, and generated rumors that were way off base from Apple's Nike iPod integration, and Motorola's iTunes phone.
And both were described as such on rumor sites. No offense, but come on, you don't have a chance in this business without collaboration on reports.
