Keep in mind that link is Canon Rumours, not Canon News...

It is true, Canon have launched it, google Canon EOS 1D X and you will find thousands of links about it. The linked site is a roomer site but the post is a press release statement.

I always find DPReview the best site for photography news and reviews.

At the launches, Canon taped up the card slots so reviewers could not put a card in to compare images........
