A site called MacShrine has been posting image of full screen iPods for the last few weeks. Almost every image they have posted has been proven to be a FAKE. Most of these were photoshoped images of the current iPod (video). MacShrine had also claimed that Apple was supposed to release this unit on the Special Apple Event on February 28th. However, the only things that came out were the Intel-based Mac Mini & the iPod Hi-Fi.
The reason we are posting this, even though there is a pretty good chance this is fake, is because the images look more realistic than any of their previous ones. They have currently posted three pictures: iPod Nano besides the “new” iPod AV, iPod AV in someone’s hand, and the iPod AV in the iPod Hi-Fi dock. MacShrine currently claims that Apple plans to release this product on April 1st, 2006, which is Apple’s 30th “birthday”. (founded on April 1st, 1976) Anyways take a look the “possibly fake” images and decide whether they are real for yourself. Also click here for the 3rd image (next 2 ipod nano).
Update 1: As expected the first image has been proven to be completely fake. (Actually is a G5 iPod) MacShrine is offically “full of crap!”
Update 2: It turns out that the image we just linked to above which proved the iPod AV to be a fake is also fake! So pretty much everything here is photoshoped. More like these are sure to turn up soon :(
Update 3: We got bored so we made an iPod Nano AV!

uh oh, it looks like we were all wrong: http://rusiriusradio.com/itcantbetrue.jpg
That’s a fake, if you look at the original one and the one on this link you’ll notice that there’s no reflection of the finger on the screen. Someone simply photoshoped that photo over the original one.
Uhmm Are you being serious hkb26?

You dud, at least the focus was correct in the original.
I think you all need to realise that with the current videos circulating, that the photos are legitimate, of a not so legitimate product. Can anyone say mockup? You can’t photoshop entire videos. Well, you can, but good luck not being picked up on it.
This post makes me wonder if this really is a fake, or not: http://crater.wordpress.com/2006/02/26/dagens-forsta-bild-apple/
Sure, it looks fake, but it culd be a shitty cam image.
BTW… Gregards (original(?)) iPod Video image looks more fake than the iPod AV image. :D
I know that the ipod is real because i have a friend who went to a convention on it. He even saw the ipod itself.
