Try this on any image editing program; get a current iPod nano picture, scale it horizontally to the proportions suitable to fit an iPod Video screen. Now take a look at the resulting bevel on both sides. The stretching creates the same bevel depth seen in this new pictures... I call it a fake. It could be real, who knows, but I call it a fake.

And when you stretch an image, as you described, does the circular click wheel remain a perfect circle? Um, no.
Have you ever used Photoshop? These kind of things are so easy to do:
-copy the klickweel part to another layer
-paint nearby color over the original cklickweel
-strech the image
-center cklickweel layer to the streched image
Of course, you then would end up with an psd-file by default when you save the image with layers.
So if its not a fake why would it be a psd (look at the window title)? Never heard that apple posts psd, nor any other source, they would provide a jpeg.
I'm 100% sure this is a fake, and a bad one to say.
Macmanager, how does one "invest" in an ipod? Why do people use the term "invest" when buying things besides securities? wtf man? How is this an investment?

Because the definition of the word "invest" (in monetary terms) is quite simply: To expend money with the expectation of achieving profit, or material result in return.
He gives them $250. They give him an iPod. Just like: you give the bank $250 + 1 year. They give you $262.50.
Obviously he thinks an iPod is more valuable than having $250. Obviously you think 5% interest is more valuable than 1 year of not using your money.

Anyone who believes this must be utterly retarded.. it's obviously a photoshop work. How? because you can see the filename ends with the .psd (photoshop document) extension
meaning that the person who tried to convince anyone of this has completely failed.
OR, this person was in the middle of creating some ad with photoshop for these nanos and the pic was snapped in the middle of that. Stop being so close-minded about this being your next nano (NOT 6g iPod, absolutely NOT).
Random question, but where's the source of this image? I know its what is supposedly going to come out... but it looks in the picture like someone has just taken a pic of a picture open on a screen.. if that makes any sense?
Is it a possibility that this is someone that has edited the mock-up with the suggested colours rather than an actual spy shot?

It's just a rotated ipod photo with a white background on each one. The corner of the green ipod border is covering the shadow of the black one. Whoever made this doesn't know dow to use the eraser tool.
Can't tell too accurately from this shot, but these ipods don't seem to be made of anodised aluminum. Until now all the ipods that came in different colors were made of this material. What do you think?
I honestly think it's not fake, or at least it's a fake with good work behind:
try measuring proportions: if you take the clickwheel has the same size as de nano clickwheel, you get that the screen in this "spy shot" is EXACTLY the same size as the iPod 5G, and that makes a lot of sense...
Also, it's very clear why Think Secret misunderstood all of this thinking that what they had seen was the replacement for the iPod 5.5G.. I only hope they are wrong and a full screen iPod appear!

I dont beleive..... look at the file name.... (.psd) That is photoshop... someone could easily take the current model and shrink it down.... FAKE!
Could be a fake...

Actually
You know, initially I wasnt too keen on the idea
But if those are actually real, they look rather nice =)
Still waiting to hear on the iPod touch though before I'd invest in one of those =)
I agree
They looked kinda short, fat, and out of proportion in the original mock-up, but this actually doesn't look bad at all.

Just a thought...

How thick is it? Is that a 320x240 screen?
And yessss!! We need some more information about the full-screen iPod!!
This seems no fake, but.. there is something strange, like a shadow, at the bottom of the black nano
Shadows
You've got a point, look at the shadows, theyre all facing different directions. Looks like a photoshop job.
Shodows... again

I agree. A complete turn-off. Personally I like the current Nano size/shape/form factor. I couldn't care less about trying to watch videos.
what a crappy fake

oooooo
I would like the green one, please. I really like the color choices.
Not Fake

Aluminum?
Aluminum Ipods don't have rounded edges... only the full size ipods and the old nanos did.
Ugly.
Nope, the aluminum (current) nanos and aluminum minis were the only ones with rounded edges (and the aluminum shuffles I guess)
I honestly think these are pretty ugly though... I think we'll see a more creative redesign of the nano instead of a new one with crazy dimensions.
Also, it's very clear why

They seem to be translucent!!
wow, they seem to be made out of a translucent matt plastic, no?
