So your saying HTC and Verizon should keep their mouth shut until 2+ weeks AFTER they finish their update? You can't have it both ways. You either let them keep their mouths shut or you either want more information.

If you join ADC with Apple ($99 a year) you get into their beta program and you can update your devices with the beta.  You will lose all warranty as they device is no longer using a supported OS(sounds much like Android leaked software doesn't it).  When they are finished with the update they release the  GM build which at that time they'll announce ANYTHING about an update.  Then you wait 2 weeks to 1 month to even see that update.
