The White Stripes send out cryptic message

What's behind the duo's latest 'trick'?

The White Stripes revealed a cryptic message on their website today (October 12).

The message, which was also sent out to the duo's newsletter subscribers, said: "'The tricks of today are the truths of tomorrow.' - Man Ray. X XV MMVII"

Upon closer inspection, it appears that the message refers to a pair of flashy cameras the duo are releasing called the 'Meg Diana Camera' and the 'Jack Holga Camera', which come packaged with custom filters and other goodies.

They're planning to sell their wares starting at noon EST on October 15, 2007, which matches the Roman numerals in their message.

Apparently, the truth has been revealed.
