New compact digital Leica soon!?

The net is full of rumors and chatter about a new Leica compact digital. Everybody seems to know something, and nobody knows anything for a fact. But it looks like it’s going to be a re-branded Panasonic Lumix TZ10/ZS7, i. e. Panasonic’s latest superzoom compact featuring 12 MP, a 12x zoom and geotagging via GPS. Also, it might be called either ‘C-Lux 20’ or ‘V-Lux 20’.

1001noisycameras have a rumor roundup here, and Leica Rumors have several posts to the topic.
Also, Leica created a new minisite, where 12(!) photograpers from around the world are posting geotagged pictures (probably taken with the new C/V-Lux 20) from where they live and travel. Via a map of the world, you can select the photographers and the places they visited and view the pictures they took there.
