I agree! Its fake. acouple of things make this possible.
1) The cable going into the divice is covered with cardboard and that cable is not a standard iPod cable.It looks more like and old power or monitor cable.
2) If you sway your monitor to a different angle or look at the image from a different perspective the red color bar has smudge marks especially going around the corner of the barcode edge (a photoshop tool was used here).
3) After the dodgy smudge mark they compressed it really badly making the red color bar look even worse. The aqua bar was ok but no scan lines.
The Interesting Part
The thing is the purple and grey colour bars are showing "scan lines" this especially happens when a digital camera takes a picture directly off a screen or monitor.
What I believe!
There is a real video feed going into the device but it's also been touched up withphotoshop after the photo has been taken. The person calling the image "newipodmabey.jpg" has done a really bad photoshop job and the compression gave it away. But could this be purposly made to get a reaction? chances are no! Apple i can't recall have never done that before. Have they?
Any one know what the asian text means?

Yeah, I'm equally convinced that's a fake as well. I'm very sure Apple just lets people wander into their labs with cameras. My dad works at Boeing, and they won't even let employees bring a cameraPHONE into the building.
As tight as Apple is with their security and secrecy, I just can't believe that these are legitimate pictures.

Somebody went through a lot of trouble, and I believe it's the best fake I've ever seen.
Why I don't believe it:
1-too thin. no way there is a decent enough hard drive in there for movies.
2-too thin. no way there is enough battery power in there to power the front, even in iTunes mode, to last more than a few hours.
3-unless Apple makes a significant change in building materials, the screen is literally begging to be scratched. Every time you use it.
But it sure looks sweet.

Take a look at the second picture (the one leaning away)...
We see it displaying the sorta-negative thing that happens when you view an LCD from an extreme angle. Problem is, (and this is why i cry fake) there's a very clean line seperating the normal view from the negative... That isn't how it works (iBook & PB users, give it a try) On real LCDs, the change to "negative" happens gradually, as a gradient across the whole screen.
I can't get a single LCD I own to display the image like the one in the photo.
Good Photoshop, bad physics. Fake.

There's your proof. It's a shame it ain't true.

they are, at the very least, very good excercises on how to use photoshop. i would teach this at college if was so inclined
