I wish I am wrong - I do want a FF AF digital rangefinder... but you can take anyone's blog and say he/she leaked a new camera under NDA and then when people go to that blog and didn't see that article then people may claim that the author retracted the article after a lawyer contacted him/her.
I am not saying the starter of this thread is doing it. I do wish that he is right, but I am not sure.
Rumours like this, be it true or false, are very educational to the camera makers telling them what the market really wants. The market is flooded with me-toos and I wonder why nobody wants to play niche. Some niches have potential to become mainstream - just witness the momentum of m43.
Jeff actually has blog entires about this camera right now (a link was posted earlier in this thread) and is promising to release pictures from the camera in 24-48 hours:

"Luminance Optimized Optical Framelines" Hmmm.... "L.O.O.F." or "FOOL" spelled backwards. I'd really like to think that this isn't a big joke, but I'm skeptical.

The biggest reason it sounds like a hoax to me is that he's the only one who has it;
How do we know he is the only one who has it? Or is he the only one that has publicly mentioned it?
BTW, why did the originator of this thread edit out the comments he found about the camera in the first post?/ He also seems to have changed the title of the thread. Why?

"We foresee the circular image literally revolutionizing photography. We can see a market for a range of products to match the sensor concept, from circular printer paper to picture frames. The circular image also ideally matches a huge number of popular photo uses, from DVD labels to coasters. And the best thing about circular photo frames is that you won’t have to hang them straight."
