Oh boy, you ready to continue the whole iPod video saga?
As with any Apple product we cannot tell you wether the project will actually get out of the labs. So we are retracting our previous statement. Based on information from ThinkSecret and other Mac rumor sites, it does indeed seem very likely that this unit will be released on 1st April 2006. We just don't want you selling your old iPods because of us!
Update: Sorry about disabling the rest of the site, we didn't want to go offline again. All the PHP/SQL processes from WordPress killed us about 3 times last week. We did keep the forums online though.
Update 2: These images were adjusted in size by ImageWell on an eMac. Just wanted to clear that up before the 'hoaxers' make a mess of things.

Probably fake like the other one. Screen is too small if you believe in TS..
Actually your argument seems to be further proof. o_O
4 inch (diagonal) LCD = ~ 3.5" x 2"
iPod dimensions = ~ 4" x 2.5"
That leaves half an inch per dimension, or a quarter-inch boarder all the way around, which was exactly what TS reported:

The weird thing is, if its placed in the iPod Hi-Fi, there's no way to view it in widescreen mode since it would be sitting in the dock vertically. But who knows what other tricks Apple has up their sleeves.
If this was a product it would at least have a 60GB drive as the smaller option, look at the positioning of the "dockslot".
Shame I would propbably get one as well :-)

also, why can't these people ever give us a shot of the back side?

So all of a sudden, the headphone port is going back on the top? I don't buy it. I WANT it, but I'm not buying this is it
The headphone port was always on the top in the "iPod" itself--it used to be in the middle (from 1G-4G) and the in the 5G it was moved to the side, where it apparently remains in this photo. It is the iPod nano that has the headphone port on the bottom.

interesting thing is that the ipod in these images has a bezel that i haven't seen on any of the other ipods. at least none of the five we have here in the house or the other 2 gens i've owned. if you look at picture 2 you'll see that the bezel is a quarter-round with a very short flat part all within the white section. the ipod photo and clickwheel generation is quarter round and no flat part. the 5g ipods are square edged.
Perhaps the bezel has to do with the touchscreen? I was looking at my 5G 30gb iPod today, and holding it around the sides of the screen as if the front were covered by the screen... and there wasn't much room for my finger to grab onto that wouldn't get onto the screen. Perhaps Apple added the bezel so you could "grip" the iPod without disturbing the screen (and thus causing the controls to appear)?
In any case, this looks to be one of the most realistic/likely iPod pics we've seen yet... But really, are our photoshop experts all on union break or something? By this time, you'd think it would have been debunked...
I am guessing the same dimensions all around with exception of thickness perhaps.
Depending on the price, its very high on my "lust" list.
the difference in the bezel here is the most intriguing part. i don't know of another ipod that ever had a bezel like that.
If there is a slight difference, which I cannot detect, perhaps it's photoshopped from a white Nano?
I see.... I see.... class action suits because the battery can't make it through the LOtR trilogy....

no, i have a nano as well. here's a quick illustrator example i made up since it's hard to describe.
here's a closeup on picture 2:

I like it. The touchscreen is so ingenious! So much more efficient than all the scroll/touch/click wheels. Then again, this mock-up touchwheel on the screen doesn't strike me as too efficient because you'd still have to scroll your finger around the wheel on the screen to scroll down.
As opposed to Apple creating a scroll bar of some sort that would be big enough for fingers? Not to mention the fact that consumers are familiar with the scroll wheel concept (or, at least, those who bought an iPod mini or iPod 4G), so it still could be argued that the "touch-wheel" would be the most efficient implementation of scrolling or volume-changing.

there is no bezel. it looks exactly like my 5g iPod (with video). what you think looks like a bezel is simply a refraction on the side where the clear acrylic of the top mets the white acrylic underneath.

i doubt that the trailer is aprox. 90 min long (judging from the playhead position at 17:33 and about 1/5th of the way.
