New iBook leak or Photoshop fake?

Well, some time in the wee hours of the night, supposedly, the image appearing with this post appeared briefly on Apple.com. The original link to the pic has been dugg, but the original pic has succumbed to the power of the digg. Fortunately, someone was able to mirror the image. Make sure you read the comments on the digg for everyone's votes on whether it's Photoshopped or real. I think it's a fake. The car on the screen of the "widescreen" iBook doesn't look properly centered to me. What do you think?

My bets are that Apple has a whole new design coming up for the widescreens, not just streched 01 plastiq. However, I don't think the widescreens are coming this time around... I'm guessing CPU & GPU upgrades, possibly 512Mb ram.

You don't need to see the new product whose feature is based entirely on visuals. Seriously, it's awesome, but there's no reason to see it. Also, it's bright pink instead of white now, but it's white in the picture because you don't need to see that either. Just take our word for it.
