“This image was just sent to us. It follows the description provided by several rumor sites and also appears to be from the same factory where the iPod pictures last November were taken,” MacShrine reports. “Come on 28th!”
For what it’s worth, Engadget has picked up the story and they did get the iPod 5G right before it was officially announced.

As for the unit shown in the bottom image, details from 163.com are somewhat scant and much is lost in translation. This much we could decipher: 260GB hard drive, 128MB Flash, 500MHz processor running “Mac OS X for Handhelds 7.1,” with included software: Safari 1.1, Quicktime Player Handheld Editon 7.1, iTunes, Address Book, iPhoto for Handheld Edition, Salling Clicker, Apple Media Manager 2.1.

MacDailyNews Take: Images and rumored products are flying around faster than chairs in Ballmer’s office lately. “The mill” seems intent on using Apple’s Tuesday, February 28th event to make up for the lack of “leaked” images for Macworld Expo 2006.

Intro to Logic 101
if it were true, i’d be pleased.
It is unknown if I am pleased.
It is therefore unknown if this is true.

Please let this be true! My 3G iPod was stolen a month ago along with my car. Got the car back two days later but the iPod is gone forever (despite being engraved with my name & website). I’ve been waiting to replace the iPod to see what the next great thing will be.
Cool, but the lack of games will hurt vs. Sony PSP
However, a 260 GB hard drive almost screams full-length movies…so selling those online may be in store.
Or maybet his is just a photoshop hoax.
Nice dream product……
totally fake.
The quicktime logo isn’t even up to date
The site lists iTunes 5… Odd considering iTunes is at ver 6.
if it had a text writing/editing/viewing app (new newton) i’d pay mucho money for it.
mw: money. weird.
Hmmm, on second inspection, I don’t see how the drop down menu would be activated without a mouse. Seems suspicious now.
Umm and Apple would NEVER put the menu at the bottom.. that’s just wrong…
not sure if i would rather have a Phone made by Apple or this PDA type device?…..
What quicktime logo? Do you people even take a second to examine anything before you post? The QT logo in the image below the photo is for a reference to an earlier rumor.
You guys are so eager for someone to listen to your meaningless opinion…
“Cool, but the lack of games will hurt vs. Sony PSP”
How do you figure?
GAWD some of you are irritating, will you follow the links to the original article instead of posting opinions based only on the MDN page!
The image below the actual picture is an artist’s rendering of an earlier rumor.
“The next ipod will be BIG, an 8 pounder with a 10″ screen”.
– Steve Jobs, as himself, in the Podcast “Super Secret Apple Rumours”, recorded live at Macworld 2006.
8 pounds = 8lbs! That sounds a bit heavy. 10″ looks right if it is true…
I’m ready to purchase….
How about this one:

“MacDailyNews Take: Images and rumored products are flying around faster than chairs in Ballmer’s office lately.
That’s the funniest thing I’ve heard all day!
When you blow this pic up, it shows on the screen “Bluetooth” icon. If this is the next advanced product then why do the earbud headphones have wire on them. They should be Bluetooth.
The bottom one is totally fake, it has rounded edges like a 4G iPod. I’m sure it would look more like a 5G iPod if it were real.

“Images and rumored products are flying around faster than chairs in Ballmer’s office lately”
One of the FUNNIEST phrases i’ve read on the MDN.
260 gb HD… yea, right and it’s warm in North Dakota today
Dank is right, if you can write on it (remember handwriting – that thing we used to do before keyboards appeared) it will be seriously worth having
My Chinese is not very good, but better than Googles. I am not quite shure the site is even claiming this is a “real” ipod. I beleive it is saying more along the line of this is what a lifestyle ipod could be. But again, my chinese is not very good.
