Does anyone know Japanese?

Looking forward to August yet?
 
It's Photoshop, if that's not obvious. A lot of inconsitencies around the border and tons of alignment problems.

Looks nice, though. :)

and yeah, why would the clickwheel be on the left.... :rolleyes:

It's possible that it is "switchable". Like you can configure it to be on the right or the left size whether you are right or left handed.
 
...p'rhaps saving in higher res of .jpeg, because the compression on this image is awful. [look at the apple & scroll wheel]
 
I like how the color/brightness is split down the middle yet does not effect the dock...
Wish it was true, but we've been through this before. Try harder next time. :)
 
i know japanes (at least enough to know this)

The Japanese is in Katakana, which uses Japanese characters to spell foreign things. these things could be anything from names, to objects, to places, for example, anything foreign, or non-japanese

America, would be spelled
ア メ リ カ
A-me-ri-ka,

in the photo it spells

プ ロ ト タ イプ
Pu-ro-to-ta-i-pu
which (i guess) is supposed to mean
Prototype



WOOO TWO YEARS OF JAPANESE!
yeah...:cool:

and that's your japanese lesson of the day
 
Def. the best mock-up to date. Hope it looks like this, just not with the dock icons like that. But I love the shape and how the wheels looks/operates.

Nah, the best mock-up was the one where they had it mounted in an iPod HiFi.

Second best was the one with the box mock-up as well, looked pretty good.
 
I love the Japanese in the lower left hand corner: 'New iPod appearance.' Thanks for letting us know. :rolleyes:
 
I love these "prototypes." :D What I found odd was why would someone have put an iMovie icon on it? Like iMovie is going to be manageable on the iPod or that Apple is going to use the same icon to mean two different things.. nice try, hope to see more :)

Apple used the same iMovie icon to represent 'Videos' in Front Row.

You are correct... forgot about that. Odd that they do, they use a different icon to represent movies in the home directory. I "guess" that is okay then.
 
I'm not one to judge on whether or not its photoshopped, but it can't be real. Where would you adjust the Preferences? Seems like they would put a Pref pane icon in there.

I worded that wrong.

I didn't mean best physical-looking mock-up, but best idea, you know, functionality.

I like the way the wheel-area shades part of the screen thats all, other than that its the same design as the Hi-Fi-one.

Except not as good - unrounded corners etc. Sorry for the confusion :)
