Looks like macshrine have done it again accept this time the pictures look legit. It was just last week we were all staring at a crappy photoshopped image of a 5G iPod. The fact that they’re three of these images with all of them accurately portraying the same device just makes you think its real.
Looks like the new iPod will makes its debut on April 1st of this year, a long with 30 candles….
[Update] Once again got caught up in the excitement, we’ve run over these in PS and see nothing strange going on but some bits of these images do raise an air of suspicion, for that reason we’re going to classify them as neutral and leave it to you the wonderful reader to make your mind up, no doubt we’ll be back with a more conclusive answer.
Images are mirrored here in the event macshrine goes down

To say they look nice would be an understatement.

whist i believe these do exist in the depths of apple, i do not believe this is it, especially that last pic.

ice age 2? thats all i have to say as to prove they are fake
not a pixar movie, but a lot of people think it is, probably whoever made this in PS

woah. this looks like the real video iPod many apple rumor sites have been raving about. i don’t know about all of you but i think that this is the real deal. i wtihout a doubt believe that these are not photoshoped. in the second picture you can see the reflection of the hand on the iPod’s metal back. that might be a little hard to do in photoshop. i can not wait to get my hands on one of these. and also to jared, ice age 2 is a quicktime trailer you can download from apple.com/trailers and put on your ipod.

this is totally legit. look at the dock that this ipod video is plugged into. it is the new Hi-Fi stereo setup. i dont even think that is shipping yet, is it?
i believe it

Yes, the iPod HiFi is shipping, I already have one. They were available the day they were announced.
As for the images, well, they’re fun of course, but I think its unlikely that someone was able to take photos of an unreleased Apple product, period.
Let me just ask one question: the counter on the video says 00:17:33… so, it’s not the trailer for Ice Age 2. (Whoever heard of an trailer more than 17 minutes long?) And since the film hasn’t been released yet, it seems unlikely that it would end up on an iPod that also hasn’t been released yet.
