It’s been a rather slow couple of weeks for iPhone rumors. Yes, we heard about iPhone prepaid plans, and limited iPhone supplies, but where are the juicy details about the actual device?

Stories about the multi-touch screen, network performance, and battery life, for example. Where are they? Where?

You’ll know next Wednesday. That’s when AT&T will start to train its employees on the iPhone. It’s going to be a train wreck.

Here’s why:

Apple Inc. knows how to keep a secret, with a history of planting fake product names within the company to track down leaks. Hence, Apple employees have become particularly careful about leaking rumors to media outlets.

AT&T on the other hand…. Well, when was the last time you were dying to find out about an AT&T trade secret; back in 1964 when you couldn’t wait to get a glimpse of the new corporate logo?

Point Made?

What does this boil down to? Simple. AT&T has no experience in keeping a high profile product like the iPhone under wraps. Sure, Apple will try to extend their bullet proof ‘rumor protection shield’ from Cupertino to Chicago, however, we all know: The harder you stretch the more holes you’ll get.

In addition, AT&T employees might be very eager to finally receive their time in Apple’s Rumor ‘Spotlight.’ They are ready to press the ‘Anonymously Submit A Story’ button at MacRumors any second now.

Yes, Apple might be able to keep a good secret…well…secret, but it’s new partner, aka AT&T, will not. Mark our words.

So, here’s to all the juicy iPhone rumors. Let the games begin!!!
