So the rumor could be true.
There seem to be a lot of varying rumours, what that one probably means is that they will only be doing a WiFi-only version and would then support bluetooth tethering to any mobile, while not being quite as convenient for some people it would be the ideal for most who already pay for one data plan not to mention the obvious point that it would speed time to market since the device would not require them to go through all the carrier testing and approvals process that they need to do with any new phone.

As far as using another os, they bought a company called QNX not so long ago and if they go with a different os then it seems likely it will come from them, perhaps keeping the look of os6 on top of a new os base or something.
