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

I'm calling fake and shenanigans on this one. To my knowledge no manufacturer makes a 50 GB hard drive. To make one souly for the ipod would not be beneficial to them. You would have had me if you said 40G. Plus apples is not known to have gramatical errors in their website.
 
This is pretty obviously fake to me. The capitalized "F" in Full screen iPod really gives it away, and the extra period as well.

And, as others have said, it would be stupid for Apple to call it the "full screen" iPod. That sounds really lame.:rolleyes:

On the contrary, Apple websites do sometimes have small typos, fullstops instaed of commas and the like...
 
And so is mine!
The iPod nano 6GB, 8GB

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

Yeah, two pixels off, no browser's going to do that to a simple line of text.

We really need a better class of hoaxers.

Nobody ever believes anything. I say its true. Apple has done the before. Remember the G5 specs before they were released? I do.
 
Yeah, but Apple NZ are clueless - they're just a distributor. In addition, they never have new products straight away.

Yeah too true. I wish we had an Apple presence in NZ, although being Appleless did result in you getting 10.4 earlier as I recall.
 
what i think you guys are forgetting is that this was an updated page that was taken down so of course theirs going to be differnces and obviously it wasnt final e.g no select buttons. i know what i saw

I hate buying Macs here in NZ, I usually do it when I am home. (obviously that isn't the only reason I go)

Yeah, they are way expensive and you can't configure them on the apple.co.nz website so you can't get a quick easy estimate of a BTO Mac in NZ.
 
i think if you compare the text to the one on the apple nz website its exactly the same beleive what you want to beleive youll find out im right tommorow
 
WOAH look what I found on that same website!! It's real, I swear! :D
It might as well be this obvious on the other pics lol.

The large text isn't in the Lucida Grande font. Obvious fake.

That part would be normal on a system without Lucida Grande installed (almost any non-Mac machine out there).

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.

Yeah, a capital F, it does look bigger than the rest. And the whole image looks like it could ahve been tampered with.

50 gig?
 
I'm going to agree with most people and call it a fake. Why would you have Full capitilized but not sized? Doesn't make sense to me. I guess time will tell. Not long now
 
Just remember that in New Zealand, Apple's products are imported by a company called Renaissance. They are basically a glorified Apple reseller of Apple Australia and therefore I doubt they will have any information that a regular Apple reseller anywhere else in the world would have.
