The Sony Nexus Was A Fake
Sad news for anyone who was hoping for a Sony Nexus device. The picture above that hit the web a few days ago is indeed a fake. Even when it surfaced, many were already calling fake but we were all still left guessing.
The creator of the image, Ti Kawamoto, came forth to explain to Gizmodo that he did not intend to start a rumour but rather he was just practicing his 3D modeling skills. He decided the focus of his efforts would be on creating a concept for a Sony Nexus device. He tried to follow the design cues from other Sony devices while incorporating the the Nexus on screen buttons as well. Well he did a great job and fooled the entire tech community into thinking this could be a viable device.
So what did we learn from this little experience? The web is the web and it’s full of truth and non truth. Rumours always needed to be treated as such and as much as we want rumours to be true, unless it’s coming from the companies themselves it should still be taken with a grain of salt.
