be it to kainjow to find the picture... who probably already has had his hands on one for the past few weeks. Can't really tell by the photo, but looks like the same earphones... can't really read the menu to well. The screen looks like active matrix though. Looks good to me. I thought I wouldn't like the all in one scroll wheel. It looks like the center button curves in a bit not sharp wall like the other ones. The screen looks really vivid though.

that's kinda weird -
image kinda looks photoshopped, but the url puts it on msnbc's media site (under newsweek).

right on i guess. will be pretty neat I suppose. drop the current gen prices so I can get one of those now!

My iPod 3G doesn't have a "Shuffle Songs" option either... could this be a new iPod OS that works happily with Party Shuffle option in iTunes 4.5+?

I for one can believe this. It doesn't detract from the uniqueness of the iPod Mini, and it doesn't divert from the way the iPod is supposed to look - a CONSUMER device, thus white acrylic. Hopefully this will put to rest all the claims that the iPod will go brushed metal. Perhaps if they make a new PowerPod device, which is more PDA-oriented, thus belonging in the Power user range.

oh nice. I likes... no color screen though. hmmm... some predictions seem to have been confirmed wrong.

Everything looks great on it, I hope they don't have a crappy plastic back on there. The metal backing really made the ipod, and allowed for the engraving. If its brushed metal and not total chrome that would be fine as well. After looking at some other photos not sure if the screen resolution has been improved.

Hehe... I'm thinking the "color screen" that was confirmed by certain members of this forum may actually be a monochrome screen with several different colored "themes" or solid-color backgrounds/backlights... still a colored screen, but not what we expected.
