iPod video

This image was just sent to us. It follows the description provided by several rumor sites and also appears to be from the same factory where the iPod pictures last November were taken. Come on 28th!

Update: The serial number appears to read “MB719Z/A” and the Chinese characters read “This Side”.

  1. Randy Says:

    well the apple number stickered to the display “M8719ZA” is for Mac OS X Server if that seems relevant

  2. Bruno Says:

    The power cord coming out of the right side looks a little matsushita to me. Plus the bevel around the edge looks a little ‘real fake.’

  3. Matt Says:

    Everyone said a screen that large would be impossible. To be backlit and everything would suck to much battery power and so on. This image is too de rigeur to be a mock up, so looks like we’re in for a tasty treat from Apple!!!

  4. Moe Says:

    What Randy said. Looks like someone took some kind of LCD devide, covered up the plug and pealed off an OS X UPC.

  6. geekmorgan Says:

    Anyone read the text on the plug?

  7. leo Says:

    It looks like a docking cable attached to it…

  8. Tony Says:

    The text on the plug means something like ” this side up “

  9. macattack Says:

    That is definatly a dock cable, covered with what looks like tape, The dock cable for my iPod that goes to my Pioneer car stereo has the same two cables coming out of it.

  10. mike Says:

    It’s a ‘B’ not an ‘8′ so the code is actually MB719Z/A

  11. Mike Says:

    The white in the bottom left looks a lot brighter than the top right which makes me believe it’s fake. Not sure though. It would be pretty hot if it were the new ipod video.

  12. leo Says:

    maybe its not a power plug… maybe its a/v cables…. hmmmm

  13. Bob Says:

    Looks like cake

  14. leo Says:

    In fact it is the fabled video ipod….. I saw bigfoot walking with it into his spaceship….. with a bag of doritos

  15. Ricardo Says:

    Its size would mean it is a tablet. I am guessing that the label is a standard address label, which are aprox 4″ wide. Inscale of the picture that would make this a 14″ screen!

  16. peter Says:

    The upper black boundary line is totally straight. What a coincidence ;-)

  17. Blog do Prazer de Ponta » É esse o video iPod? Says:

    […] Sempre antes de um anúncio da Apple (o próximo está marcado para dia 28 de fevereiro) surgem supostas imagens do novo produto, nesse caso o video iPod. Algumas curiosidades: o número de série colado no aparelho bate com a numeração usada em todos os modelos de iPod (o iPod atual tem número de série MA002LL/A, o da foto seria MB719Z/A), e os caracteres chineses dizem algo como “desse lado”, ou que o plugue precisa estar virado para cima. Pode até não ser nada, mas que é bonito é.   […]

  18. BluPyro Says:

    The port is off center. This really makes me believe that this is not an Apple. Apple is always using centered things.

  19. Denis Says:

    Ricardo: No way that is a 14″ screen. The connector is about the same width as the label, and I haven’t seen many 4″ wide connectors around. More likely, it is 1″ wide (standard iPod connector) and the whole thing is about the size of a regular iPod.

  20. Denis Says:

    BluPyro: The port is not off center. The tape is hanging off the plug a bit on the top side. If you look at the actual plug (you can see a bit of it showing) it looks pretty centered.

  21. Chris Says:

    If it were a 14″ screen, that would be an awfully large cable plugged into the side of it.

  22. Kristo Says:

    It’s not off-center. The tag on the plug is wider than the actual plug - the white plug is centered.

  23. anonymous Says:

    The nano port is off center…

  24. Rob Says:

    “Apple is always using centered things.”

    Oh yeah… just like the headphone ports on the nano and the 5g ipod…

  25. Robin-David Buckhouse Says:

    BluPyro–

    The dock connector on a Nano isn’t centered either, though.

  26. Robin-David Buckhouse Says:

    BluPyro–

    The dock port on a Nano isn’t centered either, though. To fit that size screen into a small package would require putting the dock port anywhere it would feasibly fit.

  27. squirrelly butt Says:

    the davinci code would look totally sweet as sweet on this!

  28. Dom Says:

    “The port is off center. This really makes me believe that this is not an Apple. Apple is always using centered things.”

    Um yea, are we forgetting the nano dock connector?

  29. Yeah Right Says:

    That’s the best looking fake I’ve seen in a long time.

  30. Ummm Says:

    worst. fake. ever.

  31. Matt Says:

    All you guys pointing to the Nano’s off-center dock connector as an argument, use your heads for a second and think. The nano’s dock connector can be off center and still fit in a Universal Dock because the nano itself is not as wide as a standard iPod. Any video iPod that is the same form factor as the existing 5G iPod would have to have a centered dock connector to fit into the Universal Dock.

Pena que os poderosos das gravadoras estão mais preocupados com processos contra velhinhas no EUA.

  36. Jared Says:

    Just my input. If this were in fact real, first check out the “true” blacks despite the great screen brightness, then consider that the sky blue is checked twice in the color bar test. Sky blue OLED is the only blue OLED that has been mastered. If this used OLED, it’s battery life would be much much longer, and the screen’s material could be thin enough to just put an (almost) standard click wheel underneath the screen, making touch screen (and the battery drain that comes with it) unnecessary. This theory would, however, conflict with apples recent patents on touch screen technology. Just something I’m thinking.

    This is quite interesting in light of the current remarks on a new keyboard input method that was patented as well as the touch screen info. What is the most powerful mobile Intel proc out there at the moment? I would be exceedingly interested in this if it would run Mac OS X such that we could run cocoa apps on it. I don’t care about speed per se; it would make the world a much more interesting place and evoke a new movement away from MS based PDAs. It would be tremendous to be able to run all apps on a small device as well and care your home folder around with you. Very attractive to me as a developer. Also very plausible since, starting with Tiger, display independence is being integrated so that Mac OS X can run on anything as small as a mobile phone to as large as a HDTV, etc.

    Obviously the JPEG has a Photoshop tag, macshrine.com has edited in Photoshop to put the rounded corners on the image!

    Good way to check authenticity in Photoshop is to remove distracting color information, and make the image B&W. Then adjust the Levels in real-time, this usually highlights copy and paste: luminosity is often a problem for fakers. The horizontal black line at top and bottom of the screen and the two black areas are much darker than any other black in the picture, this points towards fake: i.e. the colour screen in the middle being pasted in.

    The light blooms around the bright whites are well done if faked, as are the red and cyan colour illuminating the sticker.

    The bottom of the sticker looks fake too.

    I am also suspicious that in the color test pattern blue is appearing as cyan (50% blue and 50% green); but maybe that’s the image being displayed, but seems very odd … unless it’s a Video iPod prototype with a problem.

    Saying all that, maybe Steve Jobs is going to suprise us all!

    This makes perfect sense for apple. They put out basically a pocket computer, with Safari, iTunes, Quicktime, iCal, etc - then the massive “iPod market” buys it… then all get hooked on apple’s good software… Then, they all buy Power Macs or iMacs. It’s like the missing link in apple’s market domination bid for power. Yay for them, I say.
    The specs on this thing look awesome/perfect, but could easily be fake. On that original news page this was from, there’s a comment “what is apple?” - lol, that makes me think it could be real…
    Then I found this with google: http://today.answers.com/topic/motorola-dragonball

    One thing you might start thinking about is that the intel processors now use far less power and have a better performance ration than PPC. Since almost all code is now “universal”, its plausible that together with the intel build of Darwin (the core of OSX), that SJ has been secretly working on a mobile edition.
    If intel and Apple were to work this to there benefit, all the necessary components (networking, graphics, processor) should be on one chip - and we know that Centrino was the prototype for this.

    Translation by a real translator (not a machine): Mankind’s imagination knows no bounds, probably no one will doubt this. Portable entertainment gadgets shouldn’t count as a necessity of life, but who doesn’t want to have his emotions enjoy a more happy attitude, in touch with time? Of course, music is an important pastime, so portable tape players, portable cd players, right up until today’s MP3 players and MP4 players that allow you to see movies have emerged because the time was right.

    Concerning the iPod craze, a lot of people don’t care about cost, so we are very much looking forward to the products following after iPod. But the ultimate goal of every design that was ever invented has been to make our lives more comfortable.

    Now there is an even more thrilling G5 version of the iPod, it will leave people wide eyed and tongue tied.

    I don’t have any idea what this is all about, it does not seem to make a lot of sense….

    This must be an Apple Display with the stand removed or neatly tucked behind the LCD. The cord on the right is just like sticking a USB interface into a d-link bluetooth case. Nonetheless, I’ll still buy the above for 1 USD. Shipping cost inc.

    Wow… to the lazlo guy seriously, your the only one that needs a life complaigning about other who may or may not believe this is the real deal. The point of comments are in a sense to debate or comment on the item’s or subject’s matter, its not to criticize other people who wish to put their 2cents on the subject and to help out into seeing whether it is real to come out soon or etc.
    In my opinion I believe it’s real, considering the source and the previous incident where we saw pics of the 5g ipod a day or two before it was even revealed. Who is to say thisn isn’t the same case?

  105. Steve Says:

    Definitely a fake part number. All iPod’s and CPU’s have had LL/A part numbers. Z/A has only EVER been used for accessories. I think it says M8 not MB. Even if it clearly said MB, it would also be suspect as Apple only recently crossed into the MA000 range from M9999. Therefore it’s highly unlikely such a product would have a part number beginning with MB.

    […] Now, apparently from the same Chinese factory which first brought you leaked pictures of the video iPod, comes a pretty decent photo of this new toy from Apple (via Digg today). While some may claimed this is a fake, I tend to agree with the people over at MacRumors’ “Page 2″ forum that this is the real deal. As seen above, hardcore folks have pointed out what makes this photo so true. Simply put, the photo’s detail is amazing. This new iPod could be more than we realize… it could actually turn out to be Apple’s answer to both the Mac Tablet and PDA in one. […]

  122. Lozaro! Says:

    Of course its real, why would anyone make a fake picture of a new ipod? That would be horribly annoying.

  123. Trevor Filter Says:

    Hm, as far as I can tell, all Apple part numbers are in the M****LL/A format, and new revisions are marked by changing the A to B, or B to C, and so on. But, maybe this is an internal part number? Which might or might not make sense if these were caught shipping from China… I’m not sure how that works out.

    For one thing, the current iPods follow a MA002LL/A scheme, so MB***LL/A would make sense, but not what’s on the label here. Just my two cents.

Don’t know what to think now, although the plastic screen protector could be responsible for refracting the light to produce the halo on opposite corners of the screen (as seen in Photoshop).

    I think the only way to tell if this is for real is to wait for Tuesday… just five days, now!

  131. david Says:

    Boombox’s built-in LED?

  132. Joseph Mama Says:

    Looks legit to me.

    Assuming the 5g iPod screen stretched from end to end it would be:
    2″ by 3.75″ exactly. Diagonally, that is ~4.25″

    Using a ruler to measure the MacShrine picture, the dimensions are:
    1.75″ by 3.00″. Diagonally, that is ~3.5″, which according to thinksecret is the exact size of the screen on the forthcoming video iPod.

    Now let’s do some supposition:
    Assume that the Video iPod will have the same height dimension as the 5g iPod. Using the measurements from the MacShrine picture, that converts up to:
    2.00″ by ~3.42″. Diagonally, that is ~4.00″. Again, this is a supposition and goes against the leaked info.

    Either way, the new video iPod is going to be smaller than the previous models we’re used to -OR- the leaked info is wrong, the dimensions will be the same, and the screen will end up being 4.25″ diagonally.

    and with all the photoshop blah blah “its fake” well have any of you thoght that maybe that picture was taken very quickly, maybe on a camera phone by a factory worker.

    the power chord - i think it is just a gerneral heavy duty ipod one or a new one with more support

    the colours - ever thought the screen could be off because i have nevr known an ipod to do a colour test. the colours were probably added later for hope to people who want an apple procduct with a big sharp colour screen some closure.

    it think, all in all, it is a modded real picture of a new line of ipod

  136. Taunide Says:

    Well matt, look again, the cyan and the red are clearly (but not obviously) shining through, for all my knowledge with retouching (and i am earning my money with it) this is one of the strongest remarks that this sticker sticked on something shining. At least the sticker-screen combination was photographed in situ, I am sure. No ordinary retoucher would have faked that. On the other hand those Brush lines in the blacks and the whites look peculiar. MIGHT be compression artifacts, but i doubt it.

    Although it wouldn’t suprise me if Apple would/could make something like this, this thing is as fake as all the others.

    My best guess;
    THis is a handyman who made an acryllic casing for a small screen.. perhaps a screen of something like that Creative mediaplayer (or something similar).

    maybe that cable coming out from it is accually the docking cable but that wouldn’t be becuase if Apple were to design an iTablet then the Connector would either be USB 2.0 or Firewire and the end that goes into the obkect would be much smaller.

    I like to point out, Apple never puts a model number sticker directly on their products as that would destroy the finish of the product. Besides why would a concept/pre-production product even be demonstrated with a product sticker?

    The color bars are WRONG. I don’t presume to know it all but I’ve been in TV production for 18 years and I’ve never seen a test pattern like this one. The color portion almost looks like a combination of NTSC (American) and PAL (European) test patterns. The 2nd cyan tile from the left should be a dark blue and I don’t think the black tile should even be there, particualarly with a monochrome test pattern chart right above it. Google SMPTE color bars and see if you don’t agree. Granted this isn’t a TV but that 2nd cyan tile makes no sense at all. When read by a Vectorscope it would just show up as redundant information, that same as the first cyan tile.

But I didn’t have my hope up for any blockbuster announcements. So what fun new products did the big Steve reveal? […]

    dude…if this thing is real it would b awesome, but how they support the battery lifetime???Even G5 Ipod battery only can take about 3-4 hrs of video playing. And this??? the whole Ipod is a big screen, it would take 2ice amount of battery it will take to play 3-4 hrs of video on that thang..and the slim design I dont think it would support the battery if it real thang. I mean its PLAUSIBLE!!!!!!I bet it will b like 500 bucks dude…

  195. Monkfish Says:

    I say the screen is 10cm on the shorter side, and about 15 longest. I think the case will not be much bigger , and perhaps the width of the device would hold controls.

    I always thought a simple ’screen only’ interface would work. Touch screen? Why, so you can watch your films through a film of disgusting finger grease?

    no thanks

  196. Moses Says:

    It looks like not LCD but OLED display. And I think with OLED display it can be possible to make such device.

  197. CRUMB Says:

    I think its real, it looks like somethin in scribled out with a paint program, maybe there was a date or somethin, if that would mean anything

  198. Rehan Says:

    I hope its real- looks interesting

    Sadly, As much as id like to believe it its fake guys. G4 has taken responsibility as the creators of this mocked image. See their video here: http://www.g4tv.com/mediaplayer/index.aspx?video_key=10623

    Although they attempt to make it seem as though they lied, it is still ENTIRELY in the realm of possiblity that, indeed they were,

    I guess we will see (Although, keep in mind, it has been confirmed via the European Patent Office and i believe the American Patent Office, that apple has applied for a patent, with a schematic, that roughly remembles what would be the new ipod video.)

  200. jack daniels Says:

    The letter MB719Z/A designates it a prototype LCD screen. Also it tells which LCD module maker.

    I cannot say which it is but it is genuine. Not OLED screen! The color bar distortion pattern says its LCD.

    Most likely its NOT regular ITO touch screen. More likely either capacitive sensor technology modified from cypress semiconductor.

    Prevous rumor picts showed a switch on the side. This is real. It disconnects the capacitive touch screen so that the user when slipping into their pocket turns off or messes around with the music.

    I know the screen is real because if you look at the barcode sticker, you can see some of the blue light coming through, which is what a real screen would do.

Probabilmente avrebbe uno schermo sensibile al tocco (visto che è praticamente tutto schermo) con magari una clickweel che appare e scompare (come quella che abbiamo visto più di una volta nei recenti brevetti Apple)…. Per rispondere a questa domanda (e a molte altre) dobbiamo aspettare fino al 28 Febbraio……… […]

    i reallly hope that apple makes a video ipod exactly like this. and if they dont, hey, why dont i make this? i mean this is one of the greatest things ive ever seen. If you were able to make one like this, get some help for the tech you could sell this to microsoft and they would eat it up

    If you look at the label on the screen, the light blue from the image shines through it, as does the red.. im still not sure if its a fake either way but thats one more convincer for me! I can’t see many shoppers thinking about that kind of detail! May day job is a Product Visualiser so I kind of scrutinise images like this alot. Anyway just thought I’d throw that one in there.

  213. fake video!! on youtube.com Says:

    this is probably real, apple has been developing a touch screen ipod since beginning of 2005. research touch screen ipod for a few days, and be amazed at how many articles there are proving its existence. isn’t it possible that apple did send this picture, and someone found it and dissected it to make their own version of how it COULD be done! if you look at the UPC sticker in the bottom right hand corner, there’s what looks to be a backwards f, meaning something else in Chinese. China is where ipods are made. if i took a lot of time, could’ve made the PSP look fake before it came out if i found a picture of it. plus, more evidence that it could be a FAKE VIDEO. first, the ipod is on a different angle on you tube than it is in this picture, second of all, the lighting on youtube is immensely darker than in this picture. Apple has also been getting patented blueprints for a touchscreen ipod, WITH a built-in digital camera on the back of the ipod. leaving us to wonder…is this ipod coming in december of 2006. most mac websites say…YES!!!!Yeppie!

    iphone project?
    check the apple site

  216. ii at insaneinnovations.net Says:

    Guys, this is no doubt an early prototype of the iPhone. I mean, look at the edges of the iPhone. They’re grey, just like this one. Apple just improved the design, and added the microphone and speaker for easier use, instead of the mic and speaker being on the bottom(my speculation). And, obviously, it’s a touch screen, but that thick cover, like all iPods have, probably scratched easy, making the touch sensors go squirly. I see no reason not to beleive that it’s not an earlier version of the iPhone.

    On the other hand, there was a Patent application sketch released of something by Apple that had touch sensors on the sides(same place as the grey edges on this one) that looked exactly like this one. It had just a big screen like that. It’s at http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/26/apple-updates-patent-for-touchscreen-device/

    BUT! The patent was requested in USA, and by the look of the writing, it sort of appears that this was created in China. I really do think that this is an early version of the mysterious “Multi-Function Hand-Held Device”. Screw what I said about the iPhone, it just clicked in my head, DUH!! This IS a new iPod, well, sort of. I’ll bet you when it comes out, it will look similar to this. DAMN I’m stupid!! Lol!!

    Look, all you guy are idiots. This is just a fantastic work of art done in PhotoShop.

    I saw this being composed.

    What he first did was take a picture of a G5 iPod with the screen facing left,
    then took another with it facing right.
    He then used the Clone Stamp tool (using the pictures as a reference point) to make one large screen.
    Next he got a picutre of and LCD colour test from Google, made a fake sticker and made it slightly translucent.
    Oh, and the tape on the dock connector? Four words:
    Parcel tape, Translator widget.
