The following images have been making the rounds:

iHome Images

In the days prior to an expo, claimed "spy shots" always seem to emerge. No credibility or backstory available.

Finder --> Go --> iDisk --> Other User's Public Folder --> "newbie4"

works better.

Looks like a painted cardboard box to me :-D

Although pretty nice design...

Is this the headless iMac?

TMA · Jan 7, 2005, 05:23 PM

Yay! Finally Spy pics! Fairly convincing on first glance. Not sure about the 'iHome' name itself. I'm sure further scrutinising of the Photos will now commence.

asif786 · Jan 7, 2005, 05:24 PM

wow,

this seems quite believable (sp?)

the imac thing was just a random picture - this seems to be fairly real/believable..

unless someone's sad enough to make a whole big box and everything just to look clever.

could this be the sub $500 mac?!!

There's also a short video clip on the iDisk.

Macworld is in the United States... why is it a Media Centre?!?!

... and why would a media center not have RCA output for a TV?

I call fake.

asif786 · Jan 7, 2005, 05:26 PM

erm, dont americans spell 'centre' like 'center'?

odd..?

Well, surprisingly, my first inpression is that this is real, but there are 2 things that make me feel stand offish.

1. Centre not center, I know this is how it is spelled in UK and other places im sure, but i don't buy it.

2. Looks like the same elevator of the famed Aluminum 23".

Pretty convincing since they open up the box and show it off.

Oops, forgot that - posted now.

the actual thing when he takes it out the box to me loosk kinda flat as if it was just a painted/printed box itself, but the pic is low quality so hard to tell.

Can't connect to the iDisk. It asks for a password. Funny that you can hmm.. <points the finger of suspicion>

I call fake.

exactly my issue with this. the previous fake imac photos were from Europe if I called correctly and were in an elevator like this.

I don't know...there is something about this. The design and name seem good, but I don't think Apple would just let the box to their new product just hang out.

If Apple legal strikes, though, we'll know they are valid.

doesn't micro$oft call something, too, "media center"?

or another company...?

this would differentiate it, no?

azdude · Jan 7, 2005, 05:31 PM

From the crumpled paper on the edges of the lid, and crappy foam inside, I'd say somebody covered an iBook box in a layer of printed paper.

Public folders don't need passwords...

Those iHome pics are the real deal. So who is Steve Jobs going to fire?

My thoughts when I saw it, too. It's crap.

And it just happens to like what appears to be an elevator.

asif786 · Jan 7, 2005, 05:36 PM

yep, and the screenshot on the box looks just like iphoto to me..

plus - those pictures arent very apple-like. look at the photos on the ipod photo box and then looka t the pics on this box - they are all oldy people and the pcitures are browny/dull.

the reasons wh this is a fake are building up..

Below the apple, there's a line where there shouldn't be one... looks like... paper.

The corner of the device looks like paper-on-cardboard also.

I'm done. (azdude surfs elsewhere)
