I got fooled by the iHome,

I got fooled by the Intel PowerMac

This time I will not be fooled.

I call shenanigans!!

besides, something about it just doesn't look quite right -- just doesn't quite follow the same iPod design (I think it's the corners). It could be a real product, but realised by another company to compete with the iPod. More likely, though, it's Photoshop IMO.

Plus it's too fat. I think the new iPod will keep the same size of the current one, just with a bigger screen etc.

EDIT: Occurs to me too that there is no reference for scale. Can't tell if it's 2 inches or 2 meters long. It could be a tablet PC.

It could be a photo frame. Whatever it is, it's definitely fake.

if it's real...MacTablet

like Cheese said, there is nothing to compare it to, and the serial number is for OS X Server 10.2

the naming thing that Steve said he wanted "Mac" in everything, it kinda makes sense. MacBook, MacBook Pro, and maybe a 3rd sub-notebook line, MacTablet
