Any regular visitor to http://www.rangefinderforum.com/ or http://www.l-camera-forum.com can hardly fail to notice the speculation caused by Leica's teaser campaign
To me this has Apple written all over it. From the 'Meet the New Leica Family Member' to the labeling of the cameras, especially mini and nano.
Putting this together with the announcement in September 2012 that Jony Ives is designing a one off Leica M to be auctioned for charity and I think you have the answer to the riddle.
Whether it will turn out to be a minor special edition of an existing camera, or something radically different remains to be seen. I could be totally wrong of course and we will see a genuine new product line, but I think it is much more likely those wishing for the latter will be disappointed!
Though I think it highly unlikely that this will be anything like the Mini M, I like the idea of a full frame M mount camera with a slot for an iphone to provide the lcd and interface. A quick google search brings up a design study of something similar
