Snow Leopard GM isn't actually 10A432? 10A435 shows up with social networking in Addressbook
A tipster has written in that developers have received a new build of Snow Leopard that will be the GM - 10A435. We're posting supposed screenshots. Apparently there is even a new Addressbook application being burned to those discs due out later this month. We've got some confirmation requests into a few other developers but no one else has recieved this build. So, we're posting these images as perhaps real, perhaps not. More screenshots below:

That's why the address book wasn't translated in non english installation of the 10A432 version...
Hmm. Seems like Apple is building the Social OS. Very smart, some of their key markets will love these Social features. It's a way of appealing to the Consumer Markets they court, that in no way alienates their Pro markets.
The big question on peoples lips though is will it still be released next Friday, or later?

It's a FAKE! At developer Site is 10a432 actuality
There are two other options. The update is fake or it hasn't been posted to the developer site and is still only in software update.
It's due to be released at ADC on Monday
I've just tested it. There is neither a software update or a sign for a new build on the ADC website. IT'S A FAKE !!!
No, seed key holders do not always receive new software seeds at the same time. My guess is one of the bigger partners is getting these builds before the rest of us, and leaking info. The same thing happened with a number of previous builds during the Snow Leopard development cycle.
The pictures appeared to be doctored.
Inconsistent fonts and shading.
zoom in to the 35 part of 10A435, it looks suspiciously out of place.
Current build of Snow Leopard is still missing some of the promised features on the Apple Mac OS X Snow Leopard Page.
@ASDFer : looks like the same with 10A432…
Wait&see, as usual :)
The Address Book shows content on the right while no source is selected in the sidebar. That seems a little bit fishy.
By default when you open Address Book nothing is selected in the sidebar.
Their is another screenshot from the game guy showing you the Twitter integration. This time, Twitter is selected, I think this could be real.
In 10a432, when one opens Address Book, All Contacts *IS* selected. This is the default behavior. These pics are doctored for it to show the Apple card without a selection in the group bar.
It´s not a fake!
The differences in the fonts just easily raise suspicions.
Even the fonts used for the address book are inconsistent.
I still call it a fake.
The kerning of the 5 and the last bracket does not match.
Try it for yourself: Just type the text in Textedit (Lucida Grande 11) and see that the space between the 5 and the bracket does not match.
Besides, what information would twitter be worth for the address book?
There i no adress information whatsoever and the profile name could go to a normal entry as well (like an AIM account name).
Facebook itself does restrict API calls to personal data to first name, last name, profile image and birthday, but no address data - so no real use here, too.
And as Schlaefer said, the address book does not allow having nothing selected in the left hand column
... besides the fact that it actually shouldn't display "Build 10A435", but just "Version 10.6" in the "About this Mac" screenshot. At least thats the case in build 10A432 ...
did you ever try clicking the version number in About this Mac ?
might want to try it sometime...
Click on 10.6 and it shows build number.
In the Address Book screenshot, look at the words GROUPS and SOCIAL NETWORKS: the 1st one has a slight bevel effect, the other one doesn't.
Also, SOCIAL NETWORKS is closer to the left edge of the window.
.... what is with the message about the Japanese one has Mini with 10.6? GM would have thought the 10A435? What is now a FAKE?

The kernel would not be bumped from 10.0.0 to 10.0.1 in such a last minute release. Not a chance.
Man if this were actually true i'd finally be able to have my Facebook contacts on my iPhone!
Just install fex app on iphone and done!
Social Media free icons.
10A432 IS the GM. This reeks of doctoring, as revealed in the above comments. I have no choice but to call fake.
I think that the screens look real, its worth noting that they are not all from the same source…
The build doesn't look doctored.....way to tell, hit about this mac, click on the version number.
Leave the about this mac window where it pops up, then position THIS webpage so that it overlays it is directly under about this mac.
Now: zoom in and have a blast figuring out if the 5 is 'shopped in or not.
Download the image (about this mac) in this page. Open it in Photoshop and apply a 100% Saturation (CMD-U for the window). Now, why just the last number appears with that green halo? No need to think about it, the 2 was replaced.
