To add to the timing rumours. Here in Sydney Australia, it’s almost impossible to buy and ipod at the moment. Particularly the 30gb model. There was a price reduction about six weeks ago and stocks have run down to none in almost all stores across the city. It has been noted many times that Apple never reduce their prices…except when a model change is close. Here in Sydney, it’s looking really close…

Holy crap people…are you all idiots?

Will you just look at the damn caption below the photograph!

“We know this is a fake Photoshop image. We made it because we couldn’t show the real one anymore. We’re OK with that.”

Jesus.

Hey Matt (as in Matt Hickey)!!!

That picture is a fake! It’s got all sorts of p-shop issues.

Fake! Fake! Fake! Fake!

Come on, man! Swipe a real photo or you’ll have people going off about photoshops all day long without ever reading the comments!

Oh..

It’s a fake!!

@ Everyone: Ok, listen, the photo is a fake. How do I know? Cuz I made it. If you scroll up and read the other comments, you’ll see that we’re very open about the fact that it’s a hastily mocked-up photoshop job. We needed some graphic for the story to illustrate the look of the new Fat Nano™, so I put this image together in about 5 minutes.

So, yes, it’s fake, in that it’s made up, but we never claimed it wasn’t. Not sure who did.

why do you guys dislike this design so? there’s wasted space below the clickwheel and beneath the screen on the current version…this seems the most logical next step, if one were to make the nano smaller.

Congrats to whoever decided to chop their iPod Video on photoshop and open a can of shitty lookalike on it. I do believe they’re doing the fat nano, but I don’t think -This is the one-

“We already know it exists, as both Gizmodo and CrunchGear have received Cease & Desist orders from Apple’s legal team for showing leaked photos.”

No you don’t. You can send out c-and-d letters all day long, but unless someone challenges the letter, it doesn’t mean that you have a legal right to the images or to demand others take them down.

Is it me or are the gadget blogs getting more and more credulous with each round of rumored products that come around?

I gotta tell you that IF I was an intelligent company (like say Apple), I would send Cease & Desist Orders on all credible rumours.
That way sites like this one won’t be able to tell the difference between fact and fiction.
So Apple sending court orders to sites that post credible rumours does not make them more credible.

Well I can’t wait to get my hands on this new one. It may be fat, but I guess it will still fit neatly into a shirt pocket.

I agree with Waldo - it’s a fake. No doubt about it.

Ive been in the market for a new macbook and have noticed that they are giving away a free ipod w/ any laptop purchase. The expiration date on this offer is September 16th. IMO the new ones wont be for sale before that. Maybe an announcement but not for sale.

@Adam from Ohio .. gotta agree with ya!

I say that’s a pretty bad photoshop job of a 5th gen 30 giger…
You can even see the mismatched lineups on the photo where they didn’t photoshop it so great… and… why would apple release a smaller version of something they already have that’s arleady outdated?! If they’re going to release a new ipod line it’ll be something more along the lines of their touchscreen iphone and their new colors are black and brushed metal… not the clear sleek case like the 5 gen.
this is defenately a photoshop. and a bad one at that.

I also heard it comes with an inflatable lifewest in case you go down in your plane while listening to it. And if you put it in the washer with your clothes, they will come out extra clean! I even read that putting it under your pillow makes your penis grow over night. Not so nano anymore indeed, har har.

Guys, thats not “the” leaked picture. It’s only a [lame and selfmade] remake from our CG-guys so no shame on that.

… just to set you straight.

I can spot at least 4 traits in there.
