Are the pics real or fake?

Ooohh.. okay, I get it now. Thanks for all the clarification. :)
 
It's anticipated because people want it, doesn't have to be a 100% confirmed product :)

How come all the fake shots are done in elevators? :p
god knows, it's just like last years new imac:link
:D

Just for reference, the photo's are actually fake, reasons? Well...
  1. "Centre" is spelled incorrectly for the US market.
  2. Pedantic Point #1: The Logo on the box would be upside down when held by the top/handle (something Apple wouldn't do)
  3. The supposed branding on top of the "machine" is a piece of stuck on paper! :D
  4. "iHome" is actually a registered name to iHome LLC. of Snoqualmie, WA
  5. There's no way in hell Apple would EVER leave a new product even remotely accessible to anyone
  6. Pedantic Point #2: The font used is "Frutiger" and not "Myriad" as apple use on their products.
  7. Take a look here: http://simonwoodside.com/weblog/2005/01/08
  8. Possibly even more reasons? (See below for reason :D)
How many Apple fanatics does it take to declare an obvious hoax an obvious hoax? Stay tuned... the night is still young.
:p
 
yeah! one point for me for saying it looked like a box with stick ons! heh
 
A little slow but it's a good fake. Not necessarily photoshopped though. Speedy took my points and added 5 more to the list but yeah, fake has my vote.

Instead of that, I did a search on Apple's site but found nothing. :p
Upcoming products wouldn't be announced on the Apple site.

It's definitely not a photoshop, maybe if they'd tidied up in PS after taking the pics it would of fooled people for longer (I mean come on, a piece of paper stuck on!) there is a video which accompanies the pics where the guy pics the "iHome" up and turns it slightly, so it's obviously a mock-up made out of card or something similar :)

Edit: forgot to say, welcome to the forums Kyle :D
 
Oh, I haven't seen the video so I wasn't aware of that little tidbit. :)

Thanks, I'm just here to help out and generally annoy people like usual. ;)

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(
