The launch date might be near

The Motorola Shadow live photos saga continues today with another alleged rendering of the device, supposedly coming from the same series as the image we spotted yesterday, which was said to have been taken in a gym over at Verizon. Moreover, the photo is complemented by a series of technical specifications on the device, though not all of them are in line with what the previous leak brought to light.

According to a member of Howard Forums (via Engadget), the photo attached to this article shows that Motorola Shadow, a device that previously emerged in a rendering of its Getting Started manual. The image comes from the same source as the first photo, and reportedly displays the same handset as the one that leaked on yesterday over at Gizmodo.

However, when it comes to the rumored specifications of this phone, there are some differences that should be noted. Yesterday we learned that the so-called Motorola Droid Shadow (which might actually turn out to be DROID 2, if true) should boast a 4.3-inch display and a 1GHz Snapdragon processor inside, while the new details on Motorola Shadow suggest it should include a 4.1-inch touchscreen and a TI OMAP 3630 processor (a 720MHz ARM Cortex A8).

Other than that, the specs are similar, including the rumored 8GB internal memory or the 8-megapixel photo snapper. Previously leaked info on Shadow suggested the same technical details, which are different from yesterday's leak, suggesting that this might prove to be the actual Motorola Shadow in the end. However, it does not exclude the existence of a better spec'd DROID 2, as rumors on both handsets have been wondering around for quite some time now.

The increasing number of leaks on Motorola's Android-based Shadow and DROID 2 might be an indicator of an imminent launch, even if no specific details on this area have emerged until now. Hopefully, it won't be too long before Verizon Wireless decides to make things official, as the handset was rumored to land at this carrier, so keep an eye on this space for more on this.
