Apple Will Announce Their Wrist Wearable Thing Next Month, Says John Gruber

This is pretty funny. So, I'm a few hours behind in my RSS feed, and I get to a Daring Fireball post by John Gruber, in which he states:

It looks like Motorola’s designers tried to draw as much attention as they could to the 360’s stupid flat-tire display shape.

The only way this could get funnier would be if it doesn’t even ship until after Apple announces their wrist wearable thing next month.

I read it and thought to myself, 'hmmm, that's weird. It kinda looks like Gruber just outed some inside knowledge on the launch of an "iWatch", or similar device.' My next thought was, 'let's see how fast the blogosphere explodes with that one.' Within about 90 minutes, according to my RSS timestamps (which aren't necessarily reliable), two more sites that I follow, including The Verge, had posted what Gruber said as if it was fact, and not Gruber just jokingly speculating. I really want Apple to launch an iWatch, but I kind of hope that he was just joking and they jumped the gun. That would be more fun—at least for today.
