Not sure on the conspiracy front, but put me in the bullish camp when the SDK does arrive. Don't forget, though, the fact that this SDK will also enable iPod touch devices, which Apple is positioning as the first mainstream Wi-Fi platform, to benefit from these same apps. With 100M iPods sold the potential to convert that market to touch users is HUGE. I have recently blogged about the touch from perspective of user and from developer perspective (in anticipation of SDK). Check out the post if interested:

If an inside source within Apple was leaking information like that, that information source wouldn't be working for Apple much longer.
