Nikon Entry-Level DSLR with Articulating Display Spyshots

Jesus Diaz — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 11:30:00 +0000

Allegedly, this is Nikon’s new entry-level DSLR. It has the D60’s size and a flip screen LCD. According to the forum member who posted it, the images were taken during the filming of a commercial.

This person says he was just “passing by” and snapped the “spy” photos. Life is just a big chain of coincidences indeed. Or maybe just a big chain of intentionally leaked images. Either way, it works for me. [Photography Bay via Engadget]

Is This the New Mac Mini Packaging?

First the spy shot, then the spy video, and now finally the spy packaging? Is this really what’s coming March 24? They do all match, at the very least. [Wired]

Mac Mini 2009 ‘Leak’ Analysed, Declared Fake

Mark Wilson — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 16:00:00 +0000

In the age of Photoshop, it can be impossible to discern a forgery with the naked eye. But one PCB (and imaging) specialist has analysed the recent Mac Mini “leak” and declared it fake.

As you can see in this image, the general “dispersion of artifacts” is not consistent with an unedited picture. In other words, all of that confetti you’re seeing around the ports and power plug are pretty suspect. Zoomed in to the pixel, the image also reveals the use of multiple macroblock types.

But apparently the expert’s most damning argument has nothing to do with the image quality itself. It’s the placement of the Mini DisplayPort and Mini DVI—the ports don’t appear to be lined up with the motherboard, which is a big design no-no. [9to5Mac]

Supposed Mac Mini 2009 Spy Shot Shows So Many USB Ports

Jason Chen — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 20:48:49 +0000

This supposed Mac Mini 2009 spy shot from Macrumors Forum shows the bum-side of the new small-Mac design. What’s new? Besides the aluminium finish, there’s FIVE USB PORTS.

There’s also an Ethernet port, Firewire, Mini DisplayPort and the old style mini DVI Mac display port? Two display ports? That seems odd. In any case, if this is real, it looks quite nice—and you can probably bet it’ll run with at least the new Nvidia 9400 graphics chipset found in the newer MacBook and MacBook Pros.

Update: Adjusted credit. The image actually wasn’t from Apple Insider, it was from Macrumors’ Forums. Apple Insider just watermarked it for some reason.

New Kogan Agora Shots Get Us Excited For Android All Over Again

Nick Broughall — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 23:13:12 +0000

Australia’s first Android phone, the Kogan Agora, is only a few weeks away from its official release, and they’ve decided to keep us excited by sending us these spy shots of it in action. While the photos aren’t fantastic, we can expect a lot more of better quality in the near future, probably coinciding with CES.

There’s three more shots below the fold. All I can say is the end of January can’t come quick enough…

Spy Photos of Apple’s Macworld 2009 Booth

Jesus Diaz — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 02:11:17 +0000

Ooooooooh, black curtains. Apple says that they won’t have “revolutionary products” at Macworld 2009, but there are black curtains Maybe it doesn’t mean anything, maybe the new products are important enough for some secrecy.

Or maybe the fact that someone was able to sneak in just means that Apple just doesn’t give a damn. We will see what happens. Like every year, and for the last time, we will be there liveblogging to show you whatever Phil Schiller announces in his keynote.

Head to The Apple Lounge for a lot more images. [The Apple Lounge via SetteB.it--Thanks Fabio]

Actual HTC Opal Spyshots Surface (Touch’s Twin)

John Mahoney — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 16:40:00 +0000

The Touch-like HTC Opal we saw renderings of earlier this week looks like it definitely exists, according to these leaked shots. Yeah, if you’re having a hard time seeing a difference from the original Touch, so are we. We saw some specs too that indicate it’s very similar (still no 3G, same processor), but here it is, in the wild. The Touch HD we saw definitely still holds the title of HTC leak-of-the-week, though, and if anything’s going to be a true successor to the original Touch, it’s that, not the Opal. Another shot post-jump. [Pocketpt.net via Boy Genius]

The Mystery of iPod Nano Spy Photos

Jesus Diaz — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 17:46:00 +0000

Yesterday we said that the leaked iPod nano shot looked real to us. After all, Apple seems to be going through its curved surfaces and tapered edges period. This new shot of this old-green-lime coloured one however is a completely different beast.

• First, the proportions in the green one are all wrong compared to the orange one. Even counting the perspective, the first unit seems to have a much smaller wheel, with a bigger middle button. It’s also farther away from the bottom of the iPod. Finally, the screen doesn’t seem so elongated as the green unit.

• The surfaces are also different. The orange nano is clearly curved, while the green one is clearly flat. The button in the orange one follows the curve of the surface, while the button in the green one is clearly receded, like in the old nanos. With that side lighting, a curved surface would be obvious in the image. This one is clearly flat.

• The rounded corners on the orange iPod screen are bigger and more obvious than in the old one.

• Finally, the faker of the green iPod forgot to put a short ended iPod cable in the shot, using the old style one.

Our theory is that:

a) The original MacNN shot, which they obtained, may very well be the real McCoy.
b) The J.R. guy removed the MacNN watermark and reposted it in some forums, looking for some kind attention.
c) The same J.R. guy tried to keep the attention by faking this shot, but failed to realise the obvious physical differences between the two iPods.
d) J.R. is a loser.

Update: This just in. We just got a higher resolution image of the iPod without any water marks:

At the end, however, remember our basic rule about rumours: don’t trust any of them. We all will have to wait for September 9 to see what’s really rocking in Cupertino. [Engadget]

Unconfirmed: An Actual Picture of the New iPod Nano

Matt Buchanan — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 05:00:13 +0000

Looks like we’ve got a supposedly legit, actual spy shot of the new iPod nano in its packaging (apparently originally posted by MacNN in an obscured form before getting cleared up). Thankfully, while it confirms everything we’ve been hearing about it, it’s much, much prettier and Apple-y than what Kevin Rose provided us with, which looked like it was crapped out of a plastic robot Ewok or something before it had its picture taken. This, all assuming that it’s actually a legit picture. Orange? My dream of a lime green nano on Tuesday now has wings. Update: We have changed the photo again for one without watermarks we just got in the mail. [MacNN--Thanks Mike]

Zune 120GB and 16GB Box Shots
