Apple T-Shirt Gives Clues To A Future iPod Design? (Pics Inside)
**It is an official Apple t-shirt.**
Say what you will, it could be possible.

The apple logo is on the wrong place on the back of the iPod and the word "iPod" is not there either (-- why would they change that?) Maybe the whole thing is just really inaccurate. I dunno...

Ya.. the Apple iPod ads and posters also look like that...
Show me these, this is awesome.
Rectangular, while, round thing in the middle and an apple logo.
If I were stretching for clues, I'd take a peep at the new mini for details rather than some obscure T with a general iPod on it.

The iPod on the t-shirt does look like the mini, that's the point! There are no buttons on it, just a click wheel. This t-shirt is not really obscure, as it is sent out by Apple to many sales people and representatives.

OOPS
Thought the fourth picture was of the back of the iPod for some reason.
BTW, yes, I assume the next iPods will have the iPod mini layout - but even that isn't what is depicted. It's merely stylized.

I know what you are saying, but still it would have been just as simple to throw in the buttons and keep similar styling.
But since it has neither the 4 buttons across the middle nor the 4 that are on the iPod mini, I think it's just a nice cartoon of it more than a specific design.
Kind of like the simplified happy Mac icon of yore...
Cool t-shirt anyway
Would suck to get mugged in London, then get beaten up for not actually having and iPod though
No need to clutter it up by adding the four buttons.
You see this kind of thing done all the time, guys. Relax. Jeez.
But I do agree that at some point, I could see the iPod mini's navigation/wheel design make it to the iPod.
But again, I'd rather just see larger drives plopped into the mini and THAT simply become the iPod...choose your capacity (4, 10, 15, 20, 40, etc. GB), and choose your color. Want a green 20GB? Fine. A white 4GB? No problem.
But I guess those particular drives used in the mini don't come in those larger capacity, right? Oh well...a shame because those minis actually do make the iPod look a bit like yesterday's news. If you COULD get the mini (including the color choices AND having a Dock and Apple carrying case included in the box) in 15, 20 and 40GB sizes, would anyone honestly buy the regular ones?
I seriously doubt it...
I know I wouldn't.
I think it would be cool if Apple could either make a 2GB model OR somehow get the 4GB down to the $149 level. Then go up from there: 2, 4, 10, 20, 40, etc. A capacity and price-point for everyone: hobbyists, students, digital music beginners just building an mp3 collection could afford the 2-4GB models, guys like me in the 10-15GB range who frequently use the iTMS and 40-60GB models for the real spaz types and their Yes and Steve Vai bootlegs.

Maybe he still does.
I'm just joking with you Messiah.
The T-shirt is just a simplistic graphic of an iPod. It's called art in some places. Puff, puff, pass...
Why are you guys talking about me?
Seems there might be more than one Messiah after all, eh?
