Now what could this be?

Shh... Something is coming... by ~IWSFOD-D on deviantART

Is this something related to a notification centre? Note the cut off text saying 'not' at the right.

or "nothing happens here"? And maps tile wtf? The idea of wp8 is that it does not need notfcon centre coz livetiles. Well, go go go ms, copy android os!

Looks like notifications. Under the 'not...' you can see 't' (twitter) and the @ sign below that. The next two below that looks like Facebook notifications.

But I don't understand why its on the right side where the app list should be!

Nothing is certain for now, till MS announces it.

if it is true, the horizontal lines may indicate that there will be more than the two "pages" (home screen with tiles and app list), e.g. NC or more homescreens

What kind of source is this?

I could do this in Photoshop in a few minutes (and it would probably look better and more 'metro-like'), and I'm not even that good at Photoshop

...would be a little sad if this were real.

According to the article on the main page the guy who posted it has worked in areas which would probably allow him to get access to MS facilities.

It's on the right side because this image is just meant to tease, not give anything away. I think it's a clue! If you notice, there's an arrow pointing to the left in the image. This is also another clue. I'm not getting my hopes up, but if this guy is reliable then I'm betting this is pointing towards a unified notification center.

 

[squire777]

Not only is it fake but there won't be a notification centre announced at MWC

 

[odin09]

The source is solid and would have access. He works for Nokia. This was intended to tease and generate speculation and it has. There have been enough people screaming about a notification center that I believe it will be announced.

Now according to the article, the story has been retracted

The cake is a lie!

All I want is Xbox Music to be fixed.

Anyone else thinking this is actually real but management got ahold of the young lad and he is trying to save his job at this point?

 

[androidtoWM]

Tom Warren (from The Verge) tweeted that this guy is not a Nokia employee.

"The guy who posted a "teaser" for Windows Phone does NOT work at Nokia."

I'm not sure about that. It sounded a bit weird from the start.

Nokia, HTC and many others have already launched their teasers or events on MWC. Usually when something like a new high end phone or big software update comes out, it's no secret to anybopdy anymore in the release date.

If you are reffereing to portal you are my new favorite person!

I'll probably go to **** for this, but it makes me feel good that I was right in the now deleted comments to the article ;-)

Special thanks to the guy who called me dumb, after I questioned the HTC exclusive app on the picture!
