iPod Video Photo?

Thursday February 23, 2006 10:29 am PST by Arnold Kim
Several sites are popularizing this Flickr photo claiming to be a photo of the upcoming full-screen Video iPod.

The photo resembles the leaked 5G iPod photos, but may have simply been inspired by the same photos.

There is significant debate about the part number shown. The part number "M8719Z/A" is the same part number as Mac OS X 10.2 Server, but several people feel it is a "B" not an "8".

The most convincing evidence that this is a fake is that the part number "M8719Z/A" is the same part number as Mac OS X 10.2 Server.


You guys didn't look very closely


THAT IS A B... not an 8

looks real.

If it's a fake, it's REALLY well done.
Seems at least PLAUSIBLE.

Well that's just more proof that it's fake. Apple's product codes are always MxxxxY(Y)/Y where x is a number and Y is a letter.

Edit: It's been pointed out to me that some newer products start with MA.

The dock cable could be one of those cables with both USB and FireWire. I thought briefly that it could've been a Dock-to-RCA cable, with maybe just video and mono, but that kinda seems like downgrading. Who knows, it could just be a third-party cable.

Also, I think the plug looks off-center. I mean, compare the distance between the bottom of the plug to the bottom of the device and the top of the plug to the top of the device.

Or look at the colour stripes. It goes right down the middle of the device. To my eye, the plug has more distance on the top.


Looks pretty real to me, btw.

I see a line down the middle of the usb/dock connector cord, like you see on power cords for lamps, not like the single round cords that apple generally uses...

or that might be a shadow?
