Rumor Control: Things that are probably not OZ2.
Posted by Greg Kumparak on April 18th, 2008 at 10:33 AMAt least twice a day over in the forums, someone shows up and posts something that they’re totally sure is Oz2. It’s been the same set of images on a constant loop for months now. We still don’t know how Oz2 will look, but having seeing these images about a bajillion times, we’re pretty sure how it won’t.
1) Pantech’s Tri Slider Concept:
Why it’s probably not Oz2:
- We’ve been seeing this since November of 2006 - a full 6 months before Oz1 was released.
- The market for “People that want to be able to block their keyboards with the numberpad” is pretty small.
2) Fujitsu’s Slider Mockup:
Why it’s probably not Oz2:
- This concept device was made - but not for Helio. This was a concept device made by Fujitsu for their own use. The Helio logo on the screen was photoshopped in as a joke by one our of forum members, and it spread like wildfire.
3) Helio Ocean Cake:
Why it’s probably not Oz2:
- It’s a cake.
Hopefully these rumor shots can rest in debunked peace now. We’ll have images up as soon as we know what Oz2 actually does look like.
