Apparently, a person with a ton of time on their hands, scoured the EXIF data of a series of pics on Google+ from a couple of Google engineers named Roman Kirillov and Chris Yerga. What was found was a photo that was supposedly taken with the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. The photo above shows the EXIF data, and the one below is the pic that was taken with the device.


Interestingly, this picture find also comes with some more intriguing rumors. One is that the reason Samsung and Google postponed their Nexus debut at CTIA this week wasn't because of respect for Steve Jobs passing. Instead, it was speculated by industry insider, Eldar Murtazin, that they delayed the announcement to hammer out some final modifications to Android 4.0/Ice Cream Sandwich and the Galaxy Nexus device, in order to make it less vulnerable to patent lawsuits from Apple and others. Of course, Murtazin hasn't always been accurate with his assessments, so take that with a grain of salt. Still, if it turns out to be accurate, that would be one of the best reasons I've heard all year for delaying a product.

The other rumor floating around is that Samsung and Google will hold the press event on November 3rd to either announce the device or actually launch the device that day. Of course, if they launch that day, that would have to mean that they announce it sooner than that. At this point, considering all the rumors floating, it's probably best if we adopt the attitude of, "I'll see it when I see it." If you remember back not that long ago, the Droid Bionic had the same slew of gossip and rumor-mongering spamming the interwebs before its release too, and that was quite the frenzy. It would seem that the marketing folks of these companies really like to watch us chase our tails around.
