Apple Nz website Leaks details of new ipods 50 & 80 gb

robPOD · Sep 11, 2006, 11:05 PM

Holy **** i was just on the apple New Zealand website and saw this. New Ipods Tomorrow?

link to the page here
EDIT: just checked its not there any more

jsw · Sep 11, 2006, 11:07 PM

Just so people know - look at the third item.

Kingsly · Sep 11, 2006, 11:09 PM

I called it! Yesssssssssssss. *high five's self*

Im so buying one.

WildCowboy · Sep 11, 2006, 11:09 PM

It's not on the page anymore...either it was pulled within seconds or the OP is having us on.

50 and 80 GB doesn't sound logical to me...given known platter sizes, I'd expect a single platter 40 GB and a double platter 80 GB model.

katie ta achoo · Sep 11, 2006, 11:10 PM

the word "full" looks strange.. it doesn't fit with the rest of the text; it looks like it stands out.

but it could just be me; I woke up about a half hour ago.

It's already gone from the site. nice find if its not a fake

Old Smuggler · Sep 11, 2006, 11:10 PM

Boy they took that one down quick!
but we knew it all along

Kingsly · Sep 11, 2006, 11:11 PM

I do find 50GB to be a little odd.

jsw · Sep 11, 2006, 11:14 PM

It sucks that we're going to have to wait so long to find out the truth.

Oh, wait. Even if Gizmodo's wrong, we've only got a half day to go....

technocoy · Sep 11, 2006, 11:16 PM

Fake.

Full is capitalized where it doesn't make sense, and the remote description doesn't reference the "Full screen iPod".

plus, calling it a fullscreen iPod seems stupid... it IS a full screen iPod. lol. What is a half screen?

the wording is hokey.

EricNau · 11:22 PM

It looks real to me, but I find those HDD sizes odd.

I guess we'll find out tomorrow!

EDIT: After reading it closely, I'm starting to doubt that it's real. There is an extra period in the sentence, "Compatible with iPod with full sized display. (50GB, 80GB)."

Agree. It is strange.

A possibility. Maybe they are using different vendors.

I like the full size display description. That's sounds great.

Guess we'll know soon.

technocoy · Sep 11, 2006, 11:20 PM

plus, every other description says 3 pack and that one only says 2 pack...

robPOD · 11:47 PM

i promise this is true i am just as suprised as you guys are about the hdd sizes

. hell im definately getting one.

zephead · Sep 11, 2006, 11:58 PM

The "F" on "Full" doesn't have that kind of fuzz around it like the other normal letters. BS!

Old Smuggler · Sep 12, 2006, 12:01 AM

you mean that warm fuzzy feeling ?
yeah i noticed that too

WildCowboy · Sep 12, 2006, 12:02 AM

Sorry...the OP may have actually seen something, but there are a number of things that call the legitimacy into question. And when it's as easy as this to create a fake, I'll hold out for the real deal.

kainjow · Sep 12, 2006, 12:03 AM

The "50GB, 80GB" text is positioned higher than the other ones that say "60GB". That seems kind of odd too..

Foxglove9 · Sep 12, 2006, 12:04 AM

I'm usually a skeptic, but I'm going to say this looks legit.

I just pre-ordered mine from that website, so I'll be the first to have one before anyone else. Suckers!

Daveway · Sep 12, 2006, 12:10 AM

Can someone give a description of what was actually on the page before it was taken down?
