Apple would be in big trouble if they went around forcing people to take down random content. These videos must be real then since Apple had them pulled.

I had made up my mind to buy a new iPod the day they came out because I was so sure they'd be touchscreen. There's no way I'm going to buy anything that has a clickwheel. The only small hope I have to cling to now is that these are videos from the 6G Nano and the full iPod could still have a touchscreen, web browsing, email, etc... basically be the iPhone minus phone.

If the Nano and full iPod both still have clickwheels then I'm definitely not buying either.
 
thanks didnt want to get in trouble with mac rumors again ive just been banned for 3 months lol
 
The video has been posted on YouTube. Just google '6g ipod interface'

I'm slightly dissapointed to be honest. I'm ready to blow €600 on a new ipod - but need a substantial upgrade to my 5g 60gb model. I do like to keep all my albums in one place, and I've already filled the 60gb capacity.

I have resisted buying the 80gb version as I know in my heart the extra space isn't enough and within 12 months it will be filled.

So idealy I'd would like a 100gb model, with a lot of the touch screen cool features of the iPhone - but it looks like I'm out of luck.

No touch screen, makes me :eek: but I'd probably still buy if the bump the HDD capacity. But if its all flash nand memory they plan on using, then I am seriously out of luck, and the new iPod will probably be the first generation of ipods I skip.

This is exactly why, fake or not, Apple Legal wanted them pulled.

Apple can not legally have anything fake pulled. These are definitely real. Imagine if you could go around making people take down things they made up, things they imagined... that would mean the end of free speech.
 
As slick as these videos look, there are a few things "wrong" with them as pointed out by others.
I'm not entirely conviced these are actual digital captures of the real thing in action. However, considering Apple asked these to be pulled, they might have some merit. Perhaps they could simply be visual proof of concepts/previsualizations mocked up by Apple's designers beforehand.
 
havent read every post.

But isnt it possible that this interface (assuming real) would go onto the iPod nano or even the rumoured iphone nano, neither of which are likely to have a touchscreen display.

Also theres no reason why apple wouldn't keep a music orientated iPod and add in a full touchscreen iPod video using a similar os to iPhone.

If it is real I wonder if this will be a firmware upgrade to older iPods :confused:

Yes, that's why they didn't care when that iPhone delay rumor that cost them in stock was spinning around. It wasn't true, why tell somebody to pull it? :rolleyes:

I think in that case all they did was point out that the rumor was false and no legal action was taken.

Telling somebody that their info is false and that they should take it down and telling somebody that their potentially false info should be taken down because it may hurt your bottom line are almost exactly the same thing
 
I wonder if this was an Apple early prototype, even for the 5.5G. In other words it may or may not be what appears next, but it is Apples.
 
Ive been so immersed in the deathly hallows that ive completly missed this. anyone know a link where i can find this please. I dont know whats going on but it seems legit.

Not really.

I don't think Apple would be allowed to remove content because it may harm their product line... after all, there is loads of bad crap about Apple online. There are sites that list the problems with their products, etc. If Apple could remove content because it may affect their product sales then I'm sure they would remove that. It was those sites that single handedly stopped me wanting a Macbook :p
 
Thanks, robPOD! I was worried I wouldn't get to see these videos. If anyone wants them incase robPOD's upload gets pulled, I'd be happy to email you the rar. Please don't PM me! It's better to send this stuff OUTSIDE of MacRumors. Just to be safe. :)

Edit: Opps. My email is computerworks101@gmail.com

There's a big difference between pointing out an existing products' flaws and leaking or falsifying new ones
 
I am freaking out right now, I dont know what to do, I just ordered brand new Macbook Pro for college and got an 80GB iPod for $150 (After the rebate) and the cannon Printer for free. I ordered this on Friday but my credit card didn't go through for some weird reason, so I canceled it this morning and was going to re order the stuff (Because I also wanted to switch from Glossy to Matte after playing with my friend's Matte Macbook Pro). The free printer thing ends on Monday, so I have to order it today (Sunday). How sure is everyone that they will update the iPod line on the 7th? Should I get the 80GB iPod and then just sell it? I need as much space as possible and the chance that the new one might have more would probably make it worth it for me. I need the Macbook now though as my current PC is falling apart. (BSOD every 30 minutes).
