Considering they just dropped the price of the displays and don't update them very frequently (why would they need to?) I'd take a pinch of salt. Then after hearing the source, I'd skip the salt and ignore it all together. But that's my blatantly biased opinion about MacOSRumors and their track record.
macsackbut - 1000 bug fixes? All the other rumour sites have numbers closer to 550, and that at the moment it has no issues so could be released in a matter of days if Apple wanted to. Not to mention this was posted a couple of days ago.
Generally I agree with the naysayers...but a display to match the price range of the Mac Mini would be nice, and the old 17" was never replaced.
