A photo has appeared on an Android fan site and it could be real.

The photo shows a hush hush photo of a handset displaying that its firmware is Firmware  Version 3.0. This would be Android Version 3.0 or otherwise known as Gingerbread. As far as we can make out the handset in the photo could be a HTC or a Google Nexus One.

The original article and photo via Phandroid can be found here. We last heard that Android 3 may be released late in 2010 but you never know.

So is this photo real and will Android 3 launch soon - we don't know but as soon as we here we will post it here.
