Nope, its probably not. Actually, I'm pretty sure its not. If you look at the keyboard, its just a scaled version of the Pro keyboard lacking the arrow/editing keys. Why would a PDA need a media eject key?

Also, the PDA itself doesn't look like it would take much time to draw. I've seen better mock-ups that even include a partial OS screenshot. Plus, what advertiser would capitalize the first four words and then leave the rest lower-case (except for the "PDA")?

Actually the keyboard is the old iMac/Power Mac keyboard, the pre-summer 2000 keyboard.

Actually, that keyboard is definately NOT the old-iMac keyboard. Compare closely and you'll see.

Oh yeah. It does not have a Power Button on it. Looks pretty real though.

it also has full-size F-keys, and no arrows, instead both left and right command/option/apple keys.

interesting... maybe more so than the fake pda, is who got hold of a prototype keyboard?

the top is just a cinema display turned sideways.
