Earlier today, we reported that a 12-minute walkthrough video of the All New HTC One had been leaked out, the source of which was apparently a young man named Roshan Jamkatel. Well, Jamkatel’s life may be about to get a bit more complicated as HTC‘s Senior Global Online Communications Manager, Jeff Gordon, has clearly gotten wind of the video and issued an ominous warning over Twitter, all but confirming the validity of the All New HTC One leak.
After a tweet that could suggest legal action by HTC (“It’s not going to be a good week for you, my friend”), Jamkatel attempted to play his video off as a fake, however to no avail; Gordon told the young man that they would “be in touch”, citing that they had the IMEI number of the device in question, despite Jamkatel’s best efforts to hide it during the video. The Twitter conversation has since been deleted from Jamkatel’s account, as has the original video on YouTube.
This probably won’t be the last leak of the All New HTC One we see before it is announced on March 25th, but it goes to show that corporations will flex their muscle when a leak goes too far; maybe Sony can take a leaf out of HTC’s book.
What do you think about Jeff Gordon’s reaction to the leaked video? Do you think he/HTC is being too heavy handed? Let us know your opinion in the comments.
