That Engadget iPad image was a real (proven) leak that came out the night before the iPad announcement. The device in the corner of the image looks very similar to the one that people are claiming is the iPhone HD.

Having said that, there is also a report that the iPhone pics are actually just a Japanese knockoff... as someone is claiming to have purchased one like it a few months ago.

Unless you want to look up engadget from your shelf of encylopedias and academic journals.

I was trying to show the reputation that engadget has as a reputable tech website. It was also corroborated by a fellow poster on the same page. Again, not an academic source but a personal opinion. If you look at the page on wikipedia, you'll notice that the website launched in 2004, is featured on Google Reader, available in multiple languages and owned by AOL. You can also read a section entitled 'controversy' to get a few additional stories from the other side.

I know you think you're hilarious with your tongue in cheek comments, but you're not and it doesn't add anything to a legitimate conversation.

Multiple sources confirming it's a legit leak. The lines are from a removable battery door, and the new rumor has the case being made out of zirconia. Stronger than glass, but much more wireless-friendly than ceramic or aluminum.

Yup. Gizmodo got their hands on it.

It's been remotely wiped, but they opened it up and all the components align with what would make sense for an actual iPhone. They said that plugging it into a computer turned the screen on, and the USB icon was so sharp, they could not discern actual pixels. Also, there is a front facing camera.

This engadget site is sure getting some ad revenue though.
I laughed out loud at "This endgaget site".

So if this is actually the next iPhone...Does anyone have a problem with how thick the bloody thing is? It's .... Huge...

EDIT: Alright it's not that bad, I was looking at the original pics. Still not sold on the unrounded edges.

Looking at the pics of it beside the current phone it's actually thinner.

It does not look that thick to me. I like how it lost the curved back, and the front facing camera probably would necessitate some extra thickness.

Yeah I'm back to thinking it's sexy again. These new pictures are great, plus now I know the reason for the lines.

Wow, I don't think I've ever seem Gizmodo's site get slow like that.. they must be getting hammered!

It certainly doesn't look terrible, just not something you lust after... just looks like a phone.

Why no picture of the screen? Say with the 3GS screen with the same image on it (the plug me in to iTunes image).

Gizmodo also says that AT&T isn't letting employees book vacations in June - presumably because they'll get awfully busy with the iPhone being out by then.

http://gizmodo.com/5518926/att-block...phone-4-launch

As for the phone itself, it looked sorta big on its own until I saw the pics of it next to the 3GS. I think it looks nice. Really hope Rogers gets these in June too.
