In my mind 'shopped = fake. If someone is trying to leak something that is real, they should avoid image editors like the plague, just delete the EXIf data and send it in. If you use photoshop for anything, then people will not believe you.

Did the exact same thing 2 seconds ago, but bear in mind all Adobe Photoshop files contain "Adobe (C) Photoshop" in their top header, this has only Photoshop ICC which relates to colour management, only in Adobe Photoshop - someone's been tinkering with the file. 
Yeah, it couldn't have possibly been cropped in Photoshop. or had a drop shadow added and saved as .png. You've done it!
Also, this was posted on macobserver, they probably added the drop shadow and saved it to .png. Not many people would bother to save as .png.
who cares it's almost 4G time now anyway...
so it's probably a fake pic and if not who cares anyway? they're already talking about 4G stuff on verizon and AT&T since they bought up all that bandwidth, so by the time the 3G iphone comes out there will already be news about 4G phones, if not one about to hit the streets.....
the iphone is awesome and i want one, but apple's gotta stay ahead of the game if they want to compete in the cell phone biz for any length of time...

That would be awesome if they anticipated that and added a 4G antenna as well. Unfortunately it'd have to be draft specs. America is slow to advance. AT&T, though it's had 3G for a while, only last year started to tout it. As close as 4G would be, I don't think we're going to see it until AT LEAST well into 2009. Like 3rd quarter.
After some research, make that 2010+. They won't even be rolling out precursors to 4G in America until 2010 or late 2009 at the earliest. Unless my info is outdated of course.

Does ANYONE ever listen to me? I have mentioned that, every time I mention something, it goes unoticed, and a page later in a thread, someone finds out the same exact thing. Kind of annoying.
Though that could be simple cropping or compressing, but Preview can do all that now, unless he's still on Tiger.
Just for the heads up, Gizmodo just posted a report about Walt Mossberg claiming (is that the word i should be using??) that a 3G iphone will be released within the next 60 days. Im sure you've probably checked it out by now, but for those still oblivious:
http://gizmodo.com/376519/walt-says-3g-iphone-coming-in-60-days
My point is, that in light of this new revelation (again not so sure that's the right word), does the picture get any credibility??

It's probably because this thread is 20 pages long. Also, while you can do this in preview, if you already know Photoshop, why not use it? I wouldn't do it in preview because I'd have to figure out how to do itnot because I wouldn't know how but simply because I've never done itplus it doesn't do drop shadows.
Maybe they've finally realized that it proves that it's the real thing if they take it down.
Of course, if I were Apple I'd be doing the opposite. Removing some fakes and leaving the real ones. And then the next round I'd switch it up again.
That said, I doubt this is the 3G phone.
Yeah because 4G is so everywhere and widely adopted and... oh, wait, it's not. Thanks for playing, try again.
Like all technologies things come in incremental steps. What good would putting 4G in a phone where there's minimal coverage and the parts are more expensive. Me personally, would rather not get hit with extra wallet punch for what isn't widely available technology in my iPhone, thanks.
Don't get me wrong, 4G is going to put wireless data close to a par with WiFi with obviously more dense coverage, but it's rollout is going slowly in test markets. Cell phones (loosely, 1G), were in test markets as well, took a couple years to work out the kinks.
Not to mention you're jumping over 3.5G (HSDPA/UPA) though for that I'll concede Apple should probably just go 3G and hop to 4G when it's more ubiquitous (which it's far from currently) when it's more available.
T-Mobile has run into all types of issue backhauling (term for trying to make 4G run on 3G networks where necessary), their data structures are radically different (IP verses parallel communications) you clearly have no idea the timeline, check out some infoworld or other telecommunication publications who get down and dirty with this stuff, it's going to make 3G on 2G seem like pong to playing UT4 in complexity. When 4G because a defacto standard, yes, free at least, free at last, but thinking it's just some switch to flip isn't just offbased, it's ill-informed and downright foolish.
I just read that 8G will come after 7G! 4G was so two years from now.
That's what I was saying three years from now!!! Jeez...
And mine's really Skippy. Not to be confused with the Peanut Butter - the glory hogs...
<shoutout>Hey Jesus, I'm a fan of your work.</shoutout>
I should add again, that is certainly nothing like the coming iPhone. You'll all know at WWDC, like I've said for months now.
