Could it be a sneak preview of his new icon set called Minimum? You can see Minimum on his deviant art account (http://rade8.deviantart.com/) and his personal website has M2 showing as a teaser/splash. It at least looks like the folder icon.

Agreed. Sascha is no idiot, and he likes his job, so he's not going to be posting pictures of upcoming products. Plus, Apple is notorious for keeping one hand from knowing what the other is doing. Most of the iPhone software development team had never seen the hardware until it debuted during the keynote speech, and vice versa for the hardware team seeing the software. There's no way that Sascha, as a UI designer, would have seen any new-product hardware that would be coming out this summer or later.
This is Minium, plain and simple. I'm sure that MacThemes has already figured this out...

Agreed. Everyone is shooting this down quickly with out considering the fact that it really does look like a physical object.
Isn't it possible that he made the icons for his set to resemble upcoming hardware? Doubtful, but maybe that is where he got his inspiration.
