When it comes to Apple, you take rumors where you can get them; when a company is so tight-lipped, inspiration comes from strange places. Recently most rumors have been the result of leaks from third-party manufacturers in countries such as Taiwan. This morning, however, everyone seems to be going nuts over the company’s “abnormal” increase in air freight.

Asked to address the bump, COO Tim Cook said that it “is not related to the iPhone.” Otherwise he refused to comment. “I’m sorry I can’t be specific on the product but it’s an abnormal sequential increase,” he told the press. The bump is also not likely an increased shipment of iPods–Apple’s music players have actually been taking a sales hit as of late.

So, what is it? A tablet? Seems like the most logical cause. But hey, this is Apple we’re talking about, so your guess is as good as ours.
