Looks like Reuters picked this up. Way to screw yourself Engadget.

i bet it did originate from apple, the execs just sold a bunch of stock, sent out a fake email, then bought back the stock when it plummeted. Steve Jobs is the kind of ass that would do such a thing.

Apple does not owe any explanation or apology. Engadget does. Internal e-mail is confidential and intended for the named recipients only, which I'm sure did not include Engadget. Even if it was spoofed. So much for their “having it on authority”. Their authority is apparently an un-named e-mail spoofer. Investing by emotions (fear, panic, love)will break you. Don't believe everything you see on TV or read in the papers… Oh, or on the internet.

"An Apple representative confirmed that there has been no change in the company's schedule for both Leopard and the iPhone. "The communication is a fake and did not come from Apple," the representative said."

Looks like Engadget is nothing but a bunch of liars. Take what they say with a grain of salt!

I found the article to be very solid, and well said. I didn't think it slandered Engadget at all. It stated what happened, as a result to Engadget's false reporting.

Wow, what an unbiased and journalistically solid article. No wonder this site is such a joke and never gained any traction.
