OH MY GOD! NEW IPOD!!!!!!!!!!

euchomai · Sep 10, 2006, 09:40 PM

Finally the one I've been waiting for! I've owned a few iPods and I've never been an iPod guy, I guess. A video one is right up my ally though!

shecky · Sep 10, 2006, 09:41 PM

much as i want to believe this, the font does not look quite right to me. also why is the apple all the way off to the left? apple never does that with their logo to that extreme.

then again, i could be just overly pessimistic as that iPod looks like the coolest thing ever and i do not want to be disappointed if this turns out to be bunk.

KeyLimePi · Sep 10, 2006, 09:47 PM

Does Apple usually do banners at special events? I mean, it's not a trade show or anything. Just a couple hours in San Francisco, right?

Nebagakid · Sep 10, 2006, 09:48 PM

Why the hell would the new iPod's front row interface have a DVD icon.... for the amazing DISC DRIVING IT DOESN'T HAVE?!

USB HUB · Sep 10, 2006, 09:48 PM

the picture does look a little strange .. especially with the top of the mac cut off .. or it's just my bad eyes!

forkies · Sep 10, 2006, 09:48 PM

that's crazy, it looks like an ipod with front row interface!

Nebagakid · Sep 10, 2006, 09:49 PM

I am calling Fake. Especially since Apple would not want to use Mac OS X specific icons for a cross platform device.

if you read a patent that apple recently got for "multimedia device" it has a mini dvd drive.

Dakar · Sep 10, 2006, 09:50 PM

Leaked Apple product pictures are slowly becoming like UFO pictures. Consistently blurry and staged.

huh? don't itunes, quicktime, or bonjour for windows all use the same icons as mac os x?

Nebagakid · Sep 10, 2006, 09:51 PM

And what kind of idiot people who don't want their info leaked early put up a banner on Sunday night for a Tuesday morning event?

ironknee · Sep 10, 2006, 09:53 PM

I think it's a fake.

forkies · Sep 10, 2006, 10:16 PM

Hawkeye_a · Sep 10, 2006, 10:23 PM

fake. although a front-row interface on an iPod makes sence, having a DVD icon on there doesnt make much sence for a portable device.

Like Apple has been working in secret for 1+ years on the video iPod, and it ends up looking just like every over mock up. ya right, they're more creative than that.

How come the reflection of the iPods screen doesn't reflect like the case does?

rickey939 · Sep 10, 2006, 10:43 PM

The iWalk™ is real damnit.

esXXI · Sep 10, 2006, 10:50 PM

Composition is way off - the Apple is touching the side. The text is lower case. Why does the iMac extend over the right hand side of the banner's black?

Fakefake.

Adam Betts · Sep 10, 2006, 11:00 PM

Nice fake, fooled me for like 1.7 sec =P

Velocity211 · Sep 10, 2006, 11:03 PM

YES! an iPod with a DVD player!

dreamryche · Sep 10, 2006, 11:15 PM

...and why would they show off the new product on a banner BEFORE it's announced? This pretty much takes the cake for lameness.

Kerrigan · Sep 10, 2006, 11:29 PM

AND it's going to be a private event, broadcasted via satellite to journalists. Not an expo with big banners everywhere.

brassplayersrock² · Sep 10, 2006, 11:44 PM

watch itll be real

davesimondotcom · Sep 10, 2006, 11:52 PM

That ain't Myriad.

That photo is also in Moscone Center... which is certainly not where Jobs is holding his event.

You'll note that iTunes wasn't cross platform until it was.

SirCastor · Sep 11, 2006, 10:32 AM

I finally see the iPod in that picture. At first I thought the select button was a fifth item in Front Row and I was trying to figure out what the heck it was...

kick52 · 01:48 PM

We have to ask these questions to try and determine if its a fake or not:

Where was this photo taken?

Who took this photo?

When was this photo taken?

kick52 · Sep 11, 2006, 01:47 PM

Fixed.

I mean we have to look at it logicly.

::maroma:: · Sep 11, 2006, 01:48 PM

This banner is fake, there's really no doubt. Its so "un-Apple" its ridiculous. Not to mention the many different details that point to its fakeness.

But... that doesn't mean that an iPod with this sort of design is out of the question. I'm pretty darn sure that the new iPod will look very different from the current ones.

I can't wait to see what they unveil.

real · Sep 11, 2006, 02:23 PM

I say fake as well.

But heres the thing I want something like that so really I am hoping that it is real

real

kick52 · Sep 11, 2006, 02:43 PM

if youve got a potential leak, that a lot of people are waiting for, you would make sure your camera was on the right screwing lens before you take a picture.
