I think your right about the small touch panels, I didn't realise there were details of a small panel shipment. Why the hell would Apple bring out the iPhone and then just after (or is it before) global release bring out another less expensive, smaller version. No way, they’d be mad. My money is defiantly on the 6gen iPod before Christmas now. I'd bet also that most of the multi-touch stuff on the iPhone has been brought across from the 6gen iPod not the other way around. As for this video, it looks like a 5gen test to me from way back that got scraped cus of the battery drain. I read on one the Engadget comments of a rumoured micro thumbwheel being developed for the 6gen, so I guess it might have touch-screen and click wheel to maintain its in-the-pocket value. But the screen on this video has no height. Fake.
I'm really looking forward to a 6G iPod (an ipod with the look of the iphone) but if this turned out to be it, I'd stick with my 5G.The split screens looks a bit ugly and almost every screen showed noticeable slowdown. I don't see why they would go out of their way to create a new ipod interface when the iPhone is the best ipod ever .It also seems as if the interface in the video is the same size as the existing ipod - you'd think they would move to a widescreen/touchscreen one.
I think it is not fake.- The UI has kind of feel what Apple would make without been copied straight from iPhone. - The Beatles iTunes deal would make great addition to new 6G iPod launch. - Internet is full of different iPod mock-ups. Apple has never paid attention to rumours or mockups if there's not something to it.
