this is the cleverest thing i've seen in ages...
i'm surprised nobody has said anything yet about 'www.ipod.com', which quite conveniently redirects to 'www.apple.com/ipod'. the actual ipod model sites are all 'www.apple.com/ipod/*.html'.
i went to 'view source' in safari but didn't really manage to uncover much more. except it seems to me evident that this is anything but an oversight on apple's part. as has already been mentioned in this thread, i think they're trying to get the name out there and get the anticipation stirring by leaving ambiguous clues like this floating around. it's certainly working on me... 😱
