Impossible to say until we see the video, the picture is just too small. If you blow it up, the edges around everything look super harsh and jaggy. I am truly intrigued, though I'm keeping my expectation low, it looks kind of like a funky iPaq...
Perhaps the one hour notice is to be able to say "Damn. Apple Legal demands that we don´t do the video. Sorry guys." That would seem like a legitimite story.
These guys are having a laugh, but if Apple were to release something like this, why? Who would buy an iPod if they could have this? Thats why a PDA as we know it will not be made at Apple unless it makes us want to buy an iPod & iOther etc. Which means that SpyMac are shisto when it come to this.. They want 3 days of glory, with badly rendered (if 'rendered'' at all) product mockups and artist impressions...
I seem to remember the raging debate as to whether the slightly re-skinned G4 tower was a photoshop Frankenstein...it turned out to be real. The Cube turned out to be real as well.
I'm not comfortable in decrying the legitimacy of this thing....yet.
Let's see if a believable video is forthcoming.
Somebody PLEASE think to save a copy in case they get smacked-down. Folks could pass it around in the chat room later.
If it's real I hope it is app-laden like the PocketPC's because I've gone off Palms in the last few months. I also hope that it has a color display. Mono SUCKS.
The more that I look at that little picture... the more that it looks fake. Darn. The top left corner looks suspect to me.and the apple logo on the dial looks a bit off-center

<strong>Well, we'll know soon enough once Apple Legal finds this thread. <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" /> </strong><hr></blockquote>
I did notice that the site looks to be hosted in Germany, I wonder if that would slow down the legal process any?

Look at the TiBook beside it!! Firewire jack on the top of the device... Remiscent of the iPod... This is soooo cool!

What does this mean for iWalk: well, they claim a "custom fitted, soft leather case."
Whoops! Gee, unless Steve suddenly lost a great degree of his control over every product Apple puts out, or... they missed that detail.
noooo it a gold game boy!! I and no doubt he is playing tetris!!

<strong>Check this out of Woz. Could that be what he is playing with?<a href="http://www.ipoding.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid= 56&mode=thread&order=0" target="_blank">iPoding</a></strong><hr></blockquote>
That is a damn Game Boy Pocket!. Jeez!
But, I do believe that the iWalk is real and if it is, this is what we have been waiting for...
FWIW, spymac is run by canadians and germans.
