Loose lips, sunken ships and -- iOS 7? Sure looks that way. A developer named Owen Williams has reposted contents of an e-mail sent to him today by software maker Nuance, a driving force behind Apple's Siri technology, suggesting that the public would get its first look at iOS 7 on September 10.

Developers have so far gone through six beta versions of this upcoming software update for iPhones, iPods and iPads as they strive to work out any kinks.
