Epic FAKE. Why? Gingerbread is 2.3, and Honeycomb would not have been ready by October 2010.

Doesn't this look like the standard ADW.Launcher with the notification bar hidden? Looks fake to me…

this is for sure a fake and the main reason is the device being discussed (Olympus)is not even a phone

Sorry to break this to all, but, this is definitely fake. Look at Kernel number.. 2.9.something.. Android is using Linux Kernel.. Very latest right now is 2.6.36 (www.kernel.org) 2.9 is years away. They went from 2.4 to 2.6 in past 5 years. Great photoshopping skills! :: applause ::

This is not uncommon for those running Launcer Pro. There is a selection for hiding the notification bar in the settings.

Ummm… not for nothing but if this is Gingerbread I already see nothing different in the UI than the notification bar missing? Seriously? I, as well as many others, are under the impression that Gingerbread is getting a UI overhaul. The sceenshots here show no such thing. As for Honeycomb? Again I say no. You would think in Google's infinite wisdom they would use the “new and improved UI” from Gingerbread and optimize for tablets in Honeycomb. I call shenanigans on this one.

No Notification Bar??? I thought that was one of the best feature on Android phones… I hope this is now an option where user can turn it on/off. I would like it to be on my phone

Maybe this is a new feature in Gingerbread? When there are no new notifications the notification bar goes away…seems interesting. (Obviously they can't just get rid of it entirely, its one of android's greatest gifts).

Possibly a fake, wouldn't it say About Tablet instead of About Phone. Maybe it's a Phone!

I hope the UI would change more

Then we would be telling them to keep the change.
