More New iPod Video Pictures

Despite the disappointment from Apple's Special Event on Feb. 28th, the rumors of a new video iPod persist. MacShrine has some relatively believable pictures posted today and claims that this new video iPod will be called the iPod AV and will be released as part of an event celebrating Apple's 30th anniversary.
However, this could just be another fake. Let the debunking (and snarky comments) begin!
Note: MacShrine seems to have either gone under due to the influx of traffic or because someone high up pulled the legal shotgun. There is a mirror here. Also, the picture above was cropped and resized to fit TUAW's guidlines, but otherwise has not been modified.

Everyone, today is 3/27/06 I got some inside news from Apple, there is an Ipod AV, the rep that routs the calls for Apple, hinted me on a soon to be released Ipod AV. I am pissed because I just purchased a 60gig Ipod at an Apple Store, I asked the sales rep about this Ipod AV and he was not sure of its existance, when I called the 1-800-MYAPPLE the rep asked me to call the manager at the store to see if I can return the Ipod. She also mentioned that she will also purchase one. Lets just wait till 4/1/06 and see, hope we can all celebrate Apple's 30th anniversary with this new release. Hope Intel Power PC is released this year. So long to G5 and Gs. I wonder what letter is next? hmmm maybe, I, for Intel?

< http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1H_d_7CVPc&eurl= > is a youtube video of a supposed video iPod. The UI appears when its touched, but doesn't do anything to the video, suggesting it's a mockup. It could be an LCD display with a video playing on it. But the UI design is nice -- a partially transparent clickwheel appears onscreen when you touch the screen, with the top of the wheel at the point where you touched. So you could touch and move without worrying about where the wheel is 'supposed' to appear. It appears wherever you need it.

Ice Age is a production of Fox and the trailer can be found on iTunes. Also with any video viewing software it would be possible to download the trailer and put it onto the iPod.
As for it fitting in the dock of the iPod Hi-Fi it would make very little sense for Apple to release a new ipod that would not work with an new/existing product such as the Hi-Fi. Just think "Come buy this product, but it won't plug into the Apple ipod Hi-fi, but we want you to buy this too."
With that said, if it is a fake it is excellent and someone has too much time on their hands. If it is real, then we will have to wait until April 1st and see.
I dont see the problems here with the hold switch. As all films and videos use landscape-format, it is only logic, that for viewing those ipod will display them as shown in the first picture. No gyro meter needed here. And nobody reasonbly would like to watch videos on the ipod screen when attached to a dock. They watch on their computerscreen or their tv. Fake or not: this is exactly the way the "full screen"-ipod is going to look like.
