I believe it to be fake but just for the hell of it, it could be the interface for the rumored iPhone nano as from the patents it has a clickwheel.

If it’s a fake, it’s a convincing one. While I can say that I am a shade tired of the existing interface, it STILL works incredibly well. I’m not in favor of change for the sake of change.

I am holding out on my first iPod purchase because I’m way more into movies than music. I really need a portable movie player, and I was hoping the 6G would be just that. It makes sense to differentiate iPod from iPhone by giving the first a hell of a lot more disk space (a real disk, no flash) and perhaps a bigger battery to allow longer movie playback. Reserving the cool multi-touch interface for iPhone would seriously limit the appeal of any new iPod. Steve said it himself, the iPhone has the best iPod they’ve ever made. It’s in Apples interest to keep their bestselling MP3 player line appealing by giving it the same options.
And clearly, the iPhone has a lot more to offer than just the widescreen-coverflow-iPod thingy, so there’s no need to keep that goodness iPhone-only.

Oh, on the movie: it better be fake, because it’s nothing really new. Luckily there’s more than enough things done wrong in it (clock moves smooth, doesn’t tick – clock shows wrong time – Beatles album is said to have wrong tracks on it) to make me hope that it’s a fake. Apple legal has not really pulled it, all MacRumors has said was ‘Removed per request from Apple legal’. This could mean they simply asked for a favor. Some MR forum guy said that if MR didn’t delete the files, they would be left out of the loop for future happenings/press releases/etc. It could have been Apple legal asking for a fover, but not forcing MacRumors. This makes sense since there are still the YouTube videos, that haven’t been pulled yet.

Stupid fake: Have you seen the watch settings? They all show 4:55 on the watch but in the text you see 5:55.

Don’t take it so personaly… This is only my opinion from the milions of Apple Users.About the Player was Sony the model.. was.. my point was that the software need a bit upgrade.It’s basiclly the same as the ipod G1 but with color UI and Video play back opition and a few minor details.So chill out and drink a cold beer on me
