iPod Shuffle in Wedding Date?

Sunday February 13, 2005 11:18 am PST by Arnold Kim
In the opening scenes of the Wedding Date which was released on Feb 4, 2005 -- a bike messenger appears to be wearing an iPod Shuffle. Meanwhile, the iPod Shuffle was officially released on Jan 11th, 2005 at MacWorld Expo.

If true, this would mean the iPod Shuffle might have been floating around prior to the official release - unusual for the typically tight-lipped Apple.

If anyone has screenshots from the (still in theaters) movie, please post them.

they probably made an arrangement (prerelease for shooting vs. advertising the shuffle).. obviously, there must have been strict contracts and such, or it could have actually been shot after the shuffle came out. (difficult, i know, but it is possible)

Wasn't the PowerMac G5 in a 24 season before the actual release? It wasn't shown before, but they made shots while it wasn't out, I think.

I saw this movie on Friday night, and noticed the iPod headphones right away when they did a tight head shot on the messenger, and then was surprised when the camera pulled out to see the iPod Shuffle around his neck.

I mentioned to my girlfriend how they movie must have been made months before the iPod Shuffle was released. She just rolled her eyes.

Someone elsewhere (iPodLounge?) posted that it was just an iPod remote control. I don't know, personally.

I'm pretty sure, Tom Cruise is using an iSight in Vanilla Sky (2001). According to mactimeline (http://www.mactimeline.com/) the iSight was introduced in 2003.

sure, im a typical machead just like 99% of people on this site, but come on. Think of this now. Mac News Item: "iPod Shuffle might have been in a movie one month prior to release." "PowerMac G5 was introduced after Vanilla Sky." "iSight 2 years early." Think of how much Apple is revolving your life. Maybe you could classify this as an obsession. You guys are macaholics!

After seeing those pics, I'm not that sure anymore... ;-)

Either it is a very early prototype or something completely different. But I haven't come across any other webcam that mount this way.
