New iPod Dock-Enabled Keyboard Coming? [Updated: Fake?]

Note that hearsay reports are some of the most uncertain reports you can get..

"My friend told me that blah blah blah..."

Then again, it seems like they got multiple reports, so it makes it a little more palatable. Still, weird that none of the guys who reported it got a look at the keyboard.

very nice. i don't have an ipod dock, but i might buy that keyboard. hopefully it'll be released soon

If somebody got one, you'd think they'd take a photo of it, especially if Apple contacted them and said "Oops, we gave you a secret unreleased keyboard by mistake and need you to give it back!"

having my 4G ipod sticking out of my keyboard is a bad thing. looks stupid, blocks the view to the monitor and when you move the keyboard your ipod falls out. i don't think this rumor is true.

There is that pesky NDA Apple supposedly made them sign. When there are only ten (or fewer) of you, you'd best not break that. (Of course, they do seem to have told their friends, but that may have been in the milliseconds before Apple contacted them and before they could get a pic sent off.)

what does this say about bluetooth and iPods? or is the bluetooth only through an accessory/add on like nike+?

If Apple mistakenly sent you the wrong replacement keyboard, how could they get you to sign an NDA?

Give me a free MacBook and I'll sign an NDA. ;)

They asked very nicely.

Maybe they gave them a Mac Pro if they agreed to sign on the dotted line. :D

Exactly what I was thinking.... Plus, do you realize what one of these would be worth on the open market? eBay that thing and you'd be likely to get hundreds of dollars for it. Sure beats a replacement of a $29.95 or so keyboard, doesn't it?

Legally-speaking, all Apple could really do is threaten to bill you for the retail price of the product if you refused to return it to them. (Heck, you could insist that you never received the shipment if they didn't make you sign for the package ... And as I recall, last time Apple sent me a replacement warranty part, the box was just left at my doorstep, no signature required.)
