More Video iPod Photos and Claims

Interesting to note, in the picture with the nano and the video ipod on top of the hifi, Ice Age 2 is playing on the video. That movie hasn't even been released in the theaters yet, so how did this person get it on the iPod? You can tell it is not the trailer because it is 17 minutes into the movie. Food for thought.

VERY good observation.
 
If a touchscreen iPod appears on the internet...

and no one is there to touch it do the touch controls still appear?

Then again the reflection is pretty consistant across the nano hifi and video iPod
 
Nice concepts and all, but the people that create these things have too much time on their hands and need to get a life.

Many apologies for the downtime, Apple Legal sent a DCMA to our hosts who then suspended us for most of the morning. We have now removed all mention of the device from MacShrine.

It is common practice for Apple to shut down rumor sites or did those pictures get a little too close for comfort???
Due to this recent tidbit of info I think the images are real, or at least a very close representation of the real thing.

but int the picture the little time bar is at 17 minutes while none of the trailers are 17 minutes long, i thought it could possibley be at 17 seconds but at 17 seconds in all of the trailers the little guy is not underwater. I wonder if someone could find a leaked copy of that movie.

if you compare the imgae where the iPod AV is on the iPod HI-Fi with the nano and the controls are being shown there is no bar on the top but in the video there is a bar when the controls are being touched
 
So how would you use something like this, i mean to change the volume or scroll you slide your finger on the click wheel, and to press the next button or whatever you push it down as a button. The touchscreen isnt going to know (at least not reliably) when your are resting your finger or if you are pressing down to change the track.
 
No one's commented...

...no one's taken notice of the fact that this "photo" is taken on top of an iPod HiFi.

I'd be very interested to know if there's any time-stamp data in these photographs.
 
I just looked and there is no time stamp on any of the photos.

i was also reding the comments the the video and they mentioned another video which is alot more convicing.

Edit: wow im a moron and didnt even read the caption to that video where it says its not real, but it still looks it.
 
That first video looks good but I really would like to see a video showing the menus and other functions, not just a video playing. If someone really has one they could show it off a bit and not just show a couple of seconds of a movie.

Adobe is their friend...
 
My guesses:

* Original photo with unknown Chinese writing was real.

* All photos/videos since then are fake.

* MacShrine is real.

* Cease and desist letters were fake.

* This post is real.

You could be right. What are your reasons for saying this?

It could work like a tappable trackpad: a trackpad can tell a long rest from a quick tap, and can tell a moving drag from both.

Far more guesswork than any real evidence. Just a feeling 🙂 I win a cupcake if I am right on all points!

(Note: THIS post IS a fake.)
 
I believe that the photo with the iPod acutally plugged into the dock of the HiFi is fake because the length of the song would be incorrect(I think). According to ITMS FACK is 3:25 long but the FACK playing on the iPod would be 4:25 long.
 
Big Foot Sighting!!!

Did you see Big Foot walking along the bottom of the stairs?!!!

Or was that SJ? Maybe it was SJ playing with it on the stairs and bill gates walked by to steal the idea and poorly implement it.

Whatever...

My gawd... Apple has all the answers!

Regardless, I want this thing BAD!
 
fake fake fake

Heh. There are several problems with the iPod on the HiFi image. The reflection is missing one edge of the screen, almost no camera shake on the case, quite sharp camera shake on the screen, and terrible camera shake on the black ipod, noise on black ipod is terrible, the rest of the image is very high res, the reflection on the hifi is a real click wheel, etc, etc, etc ... and they're not the only ones, that's just the most obvious ones. And the image is on the brand new HiFi?? how many people have that yet?

now, i'm not sure how exactly apple legal works, but sending a letter on Sunday (of all days) at 5pm PST (or around there, iirc) to a single site, while there is lots of other mirrors and lots of "high profile" rumor sites that have the same images? that doesn't smell right to me...

oh, and the image of ipod with the chinese writing on the connector was a fake too. there is a video out there on how it was created, and it also had way way more errors on the image than the hifi one.

think what you will, but i wouldn't hold my breath

looks cool.. but wouldn't the screen get scuffed, rubbed out, or scratched where the virtual wheel is???

What kind of fingers du you have ?

DidnÄt read the post yet, but I am surpised about the gallery. I made this dull mockup with the gorillaz album and the grey touchwheel below. Even tho it was a bad fake and everyone in this forum said it was a bad photoshop work, this picture has been used in 4 other mockups I've seen so far, this one is one of them:
120px-Handyagain.jpg


So to say, don't trust too much what you see. They all agree on the design because it's just so easy to make: take a 5g iPod, stretch the screen, done.
 
wow if they got Apple's attention (Cease and Desist order!), then the iPods must be real. I just find it weird though. How about smudging and fingerprint problems? Why Apple?!?! WHY?!😀
