Andy Rubin, better known as the guy who created Android and then sold it to Google only to later leave, will finally show off his new smartphone on May 30.

Rubin's company, Essential, sent its first tweet on Thursday trading the phone launch and then a follow-up tweet showing a silhouette of the device. 

But what is that thing poking out of the top/bottom!? 

Before we try to make some sense, here's the silhouette Essential shared:


It kinda looks like one of those fat antennas on an old Palm Treo. There's definitely a wave of interest for retro phones this year, but we doubt Rubin's new phone is a blast back to the eyesore antenna days.

The reporter:
To see if I could get more details, I opened up the image in Photoshop and cranked up the exposure, well, well, well what do we have here?

It sure looks like that's a camera on top. One of my coworkers says it looks like a PC webcam from the 90s, and I have to agree.

i might not have to money to contribute, but i can give advice that will aids in his treatment,

many of us don't know the cause and prevention of the disease,
or rather we have been told, but don't know how to use it,

we keep hearing eat fruits to stay health, and an apple a day keeps the doctor away, but the problem had and still is how to apply it for maximum impact,

many of us use it as supplement with our regular diet,
its a no no no...,

you can help ur friend, by helping him to keep a strict routine of eating, fruits like, CUCUMBER,AVOCADO, WATERMELON, APPLE, KIWIS , let him eat any of those fruit 25 or 30mins before any meal,

practice it for a week or two, you will be surprised,

i wish him quick recovery

Hmmm, May God heal him

just passing by

I won't tell you what am thinking

That bulge looks like an adjustable artificial dick that ladies can use to fvck themselves when on their heat period.

My opinion though.

Hope to see the real thing soon! This time around, looks like I'm gonna buy it from him.
