New Covert Sidekick 3 Pictures
It’s been a bit slow on the Sidekick 3 news front. Until today that is. We received the follow pictures from one of our kick-ass readers. They had to go into secret-agent covert mode and snuck a device into the bathroom to get some shots without being disturbed. Many thanks to our loyal readers for risking it to get us the latest and greatest info.
UPDATE: After further investigation by others that apparently don’t have work to do at their jobs (hehe) we’re calling these fake. Looks like a clever print-out of already existing pictures. For those that aren’t prone to epilepsy, minusX put this handy animated gif together to compare. That plus some info that doesn’t match up in the emails received. Submitter says he got these pictures when he went to work with his dad who works with “the development team in tennesee (sic) for the FCC” but that bathroom looks a lot like someone’s apartment bathroom. On closer look, I think I have those same cabinets! Oh well, that’s what you get when you rush to post things in the middle of the night. Sorry guys.

Yeah, the proportions to the hand look off. And some you can see the bad cropping on it, like the 2nd from the top.

you are all fucking stupid. why the hell are they fake. someone is going to have one in their hands when the release is less than a month away. you should all go kill yourselves. see ya!

they’re not “photoshopped” you nerds.
the reason the EXIF data reads an external Windows program is because hiptop3.com adds a watermark. how the fuck do you think “hiptop3” shows up on every picture posted? morons.

Because if was a true picture and didn’t have a sk3 photoshopped into another picture, the camera make/model/exposure/etc… info would still be in the EXIF data. Photoshop doesn’t remove that on image touch ups.
If you create a new image, then start adding bits and pieces to create something like above, you get EXIF data like that.
Moron.
