I will say though that historically the WSJ (This writer in Particular) has been spot-on when reporting Apple rumors.

iPad: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142405274870340570457501...

No iPhone 4 Recall: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142405274870468260457536...

Job's Liver Transplant: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124546193182433491.html

And a TechCrunch article mentioning it: http://techcrunch.com/2010/07/15/iphone-4-recall/

It appears that Yukari Iwatani Kane has a connection to Job's inner circle...

This story can be spot-on (Apple's producing a CDMA iPhone) without fulfilling the only aspect which US-centric HN readers care about (that Verizon will carry it). The story is framed in terms of technical capability, not in terms of a deal in place.

A Verizon deal would be news. A CDMA iPhone in January just means Gruber has good sources.

Except for that $999 iPad.

Which was almost certainly price anchoring by Apple. If they leak to anyone, it's the WSJ.
