iPod Nano Photos?

Your incorrect use of the terms "copyright" and "slander" make it difficult to take your legal arguments very seriously. Now, I am not a lawyer, and I acknowledge the limits of my knowledge in these situations, but you seem to just be saying words that you personally think might be true, but have no basis.

Most ads I do can fit on the screen at 100%. Not sure where you got that idea. The file for a poster or billboard would typically be a different file altogether than the ad. None of it matters because it could easily just be a comp early in the design phase of the advertising.
I apologize, I'm not a lawyer either. It's not copyrighted, It's patented. My Bad. Either way, Apple holds claim to it right? I was confused and thought I was on a Rumors Website and not in Court... I will use the exact terminology next time.
On That note... I was wrong again... it's not Slander, it's Libel. "If it is published in more durable form, for example in written words, film, compact disc (CD), DVD, internet blogging and the like, then it is considered libel."
I am not trying to be the epitome of US law, but I feel there is some legal reasons, other than this being the new iPod, for Apple to ask for the removal of these images. Obviously none of us know for sure, but I tried to point out some things people had not thought about yet, but I didn't take into account that my wording had to be spot on... my mistake and next time I will file a full length report. Noted.
It's not a matter of me being overly-picky.... your argument simply doesn't make sense when you replace "copyright" with "patent". Because Apple has the patent on the clickwheel, you can't post a picture of a clickwheel device?

Honestly? No. It runs counter to Apple's handheld design philosophy (the new Shuffle excepted) to me...
agree with the proportions is bad and it is quite difficult to navigate the wheel when it is too close to the bottom of the pod - like regular mobile phones are constructed today.
i played for a couple of minutes with photoshop. put the wheel to the right and widescreen to the left - and voila...something quite usable and ok-looking.
It looks nice, actually it would probably be one of the top two best looking iPods if it was ever made, but imagine actually using it... with one hand. That's one thing that sets the regular iPod apart from most imitators. I cannot imagine using it with one hand.
Usability first, looks second. Even for Apple.
Haha! That's funny! I think the pics were real because Steve made them take them down. They never have to take fake pics down. Anyway, I think they look great. My iPod collection works fine but if these new models come out I'll buy everything!Maybe the computer that's running Photoshop is in an elevator!
Well done Apple. You've put me off buying an new iMac, now you're edging on putting me off buying a new iPod.
Meh. Who else started losing faith in Apple after they pushed leopard back to make way for their iPrune?

Am I the only one who actually likes the new design?
If I could get an iPod with full video capabilities that wasn't price-pointed over $200 max, I would consider getting one. I don't care if it only has a smaller drive on it (say, 8-16GB), since the majority of what would be on there would just be music, and frankly I don't have that much music.
Heck, even if I were to rip every last CD I own and, with unbridled passion download every song out there off the 'net that I liked, it probably still wouldn't exceed 8GB.
And yes, that even includes the pending release of Mark Cairns' Airwolf Themes I set on Pinnacle-Digital and iTunes!

This one is still up, I guess it's hosted in Sweden so beyond the range of Apple legal.
Take into account that the colours are washed out because there's at least three levels of redirect here (the original, unprocessed, picture used as the basis of the Photoshop manipulation; the LCD screen the thing is being viewed on, and the cameraphone that was obviously used to take the photo of the screen.)
And yes, it is called the nano.
I hate how they look, if they go with that I can see it now....
Apple introduces the new, iChode Nano....

The wheel shadow's wrong
I can use the Sony pretty well with one hand (you can flip the display the other way around too). I do have to use the other hand for volume control - but it actually has a separate volume control, which is something Apple still deems too complicated for iPod users to possess.
