You want to know what that is? It's nothing more than an iMac G4 20" screen, backed up by a white sheet and some speculation...
Or it may not be so...
😉
There are a variety of reasons for believing this to be bogus, and I think you're close: the major issue isn't that it
might be an iMac G4 screen someone's cropped (which I don't believe it is), it's that it has the same styling as the iMac G4 screen (and, FWIW, the original 1G/2G iPods), the whole "glass on white thing. This, quite honestly, is not the current Apple look, they've moved away from it.
Other reasons I'd add would include the screen image (a CRT test card?) and a number of comments elsewhere pointing out retouching has apparently gone on.
I
love the idea of the iPod Video/PDA thing (or rather Apple version of the 770, with client-to-an-Airport-Bonjour-iTunes-server support), but this isn't it.
All this speculation could be way off and we could be looking at software BTW. The iCal styling might also be a clue to this, though I haven't a clue what could be date-related
and fun. Well, other than "two person dates" (ie "going on a date" rather than "28th February" date), but I don't see how an Apple product could encapsulate that either. A software product might also explain the lack of concrete information - hardware's difficult to keep secret, but Steve could announce software to be on sell on the 14th, keep to that timetable, and not have a single CD pressed or box printed.
