This is a rumor, we’re taking it with more than just one grain of salt. If anyone has additional info, please use our “contact” link above to let us know.
[UPDATE: 4:32pm EST: The photos were used and created for the Macheist viral marketing campaign. Macheist (http://www.macheist.com/) was created by the team that created the my dream app competition. The first “heist” required you track down those photos and send them to macrumors.com. The prize was some free software and a discount off a future bundle of shareware. Thanks, “wandering joe,” “rt,” and “hedgehogfrenzy.” The validity of the specs are questioned as well.]

Looks nice.
they are the pics used in “macheist” anyone playing the game can download them
Of all the apple phone hoaxes – this seems to be one of the more credible…
I hope that’s not it… UGLY!
I would expect Apple to come up with something better than that!
This image is a fake. It was part of the MacHeist game at MacHeist.com!
fake – because wireless earbuds of that size aren’t possible to make (for the next 20 years)
just look at the competition of wireless earbuds makers
I don’t like it. It’s all black with white lines all over it. It looks terrible!
{skepticality}
Even if you could make wireless earbuds like that it would be pointless, unless they were firmly attached to your ear and somehow suitable for everyone in the world they would be lost left right and centre.
The big red flag for me is the claimed resolution…
“320 by 240 pixel resolution”
Okay, so why is that screen *perfectly* square?
-c
MW: ‘evidence’ (is shoddy and circumstantial at best)
Seconded,
Those are from the MacHeist contest. http://www.macheist.com

Yea they are fakes from the MacHeist game
apart of the fact that this is an obvious fake – it does look alot like something from Ericsson. I don’t think it’s ugly – but still, I would expect more from Apple.
Sorry to be off topic…
TRUE FACT: The Nintendo Wii will play media files, BUT, ONLY those in QuickTime format. I found that to be somewhat interesting… Of course, this could change with a firmware update, but as of now that is how they are shipping.
the mesh looks like its been generated with Rhino. A shame that there’s no Mac version…since it’s prettymuch an industry standard-app these days. 🙁
I wouldn’t mind having a phone like that. Looks nice.
i dont think so
I didn’t write the above post. I assume it’s good ol’ Titty, getting his revenge on me for supposedly posting in his moniker.
Titty, let’s end this now. It wasn’t me who dun’it. It was someone else. Can you go back to your Dell and let us please move on?
The phone bites. I wouldn’t buy one.
Where is that damn PHONE! I need one hundred!
Wasn’t me Frank
I’m a bigger man than that.
Sorry but if thas what its going to look i would be disappointed …way too obvious and not an ideal solution, i would imagine a sliding type form factor giving one an ipod that turns to phone with slide out keyboard……. or something totally different but not flip i bet
The specs were part of the game or “heist” also.
Geez, I’m a little surprised MDN got taken in on this. Are you guys that lame up for traffic?
You ought to line-out the whole article.
NOT EVEN CLOSE to reality… not for my money
nice hype try tho… but not on the money
NO ONE will see it until Steve Jobs pulls it out of his pocket in January. You can bet real money on that.
Apple is making heaps of money from the iPod and computer products to go into the Holiday season with a new line item…
AS for this fiasco of a fraud, I wouldn’t pay monoply money for it…
MDN – money

The screen is not square, not even close. I have no idea whether this drawing is genuine, but it’s a nice drawing!
Who would want a black phone with crazy white grid lines all over it?
