Seems like those days, if they haven't received press release and a press package the only thing analyst can say is that they are puzzled.

Thankfully in a few weeks it will be time for the annual batch of rumour about the next iPhone. That has been almost a year since the last article predicting the 5in iPhone and the iWatch.

The second article says it all: these are initial reactions.

I believe the sentiment has changed drastically since the deal's first announcement (at least it has among sites and blogs I frequent).
