Anyone get a good look at that item in the background in the iBook video, I believe it's the one that shows the ports, connectors.

I think you mean this shot:



Looks like some kind of third-party peripheral to me...

Actually the item in the background, the top item is obvious.

Actually I'm curious.

No! It can't be! Headphones? And a guy plugging a headphone jack into the audio port? I don't belive it.

I knew I should have drawn a think red circle around the object in the top right corner.

I don't understand why they bother having the censor function turned on with this board. It's certainly easy enough to circumvent.

Anyway, the link is http://www.info.apple.com/support/ibook/movies.html

By the way, these videos feature the old iBook SE. You can tell by the translucent plastics.

Woa, that video's old. Notice anything missing from that iBook....like a Firewire port?

Yeah, but the general principles of changing the battery and adding RAM or an Airport card probably haven't changed much.

It looks like the bottom of an iMac.

Heres my theories.

1. They were working on a iMac project and it got caught in the video.

2. We were supposed to get a highly affordable monitorless iMac but instead we got the Cube. Maybe this was a concept version of something from that project. Some one forgot to not get a shot of it.

It does look strangely like a slot loading drive with a speaker next to it... an iMac without a monitor?
