Tech blogs have speculated that such leaks may be intentional on Apple’s part to drum up buzz, with Geekosystem.com saying, “one is an accident, two is a trend.”

i hate to say this about a technologically sophisticated site such as Geekosystem.com. Still, the logico-mathematical commonplace is "1,2, 3 . . ." In other words, once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, thrice is a pattern.
And logico-mathematical considerations require me to add: a pattern does not equal a motive. So suppose there's a third instance and so we're safe to see a pattern. One motivation of the pattern may be what Geekosystem.com concludes. Another may be that Apple is depending on non-Apple businesses in the development of the device and those businesses are less disciplined. Yet another might be that Apple itself is losing control over its employees. Yet another could be . . . . .
Ain't speculation grand? And again scrupulously adhering to logico-mathematical tenets, I'm obliged to state that "speculation" derives from the Latin speculum = mirror. So a speculator sees him or herself.

No doubt that the one "found" by Gizmodo was real, but now another one surfaces in Viet Nam? The trend I'm seeing is the wannabe's are "finding" more. How many times have we seen folks revealing the "real" product only to find that they were faked?

I dunno, that one looks awfully close to the Gizmodo prototype, plus a few refinements. That it's in 'Nam does raise speculation, tho. How it got there is a bit of a curiosity.

Thats a good question - are there any German Beer Gardens in Nam ? ? If so there might be a connection

Thanks for the video , he did a good job of a review even if I cannot understand a single word <-- not bad for a commie country to get these new slicks in there .
Anyway its either a cheap knock off -or- China is starting to sub out work now ?
