Artist We get hundereds of comments asking why we don't just post our mockup and wait for Apple Legal to come after us. People, we don't want to take Apple's thunder!   They have thousands of people working on amazing products and should have the right to introduce them - not lowly us.  We just speculate, speculate, speculate.

Plus, we have families to support and are not trying to wind up on the wrong side of the Apple Lawyer Army to end up jobless, broke and kneecap-less! 

But, you guys are creative right?  Your art skillz are better than ours, no?  Why not shoot us an email at editor at 9to5mac dot com or post a link in the comments and we'll post the most amazing ones next week.

You got game? (continue)

Update: we've been getting some sick submissions people - keep up the good work!  It is going to be next to impossible to pick the best!

Harsh. Is this Apple legal daring us? Not biting :D

The problem is that you don't have any photos of the new ipod so called "touch".

Otherwise it wil be easy to put it in flickr or anywhere and anybody will see it in the world !!

Bye

admin | August 23, 2007 - 5:31am

yeah, that's the point. we don't want to get in trouble.

macmanager (not verified) | August 23, 2007 - 5:59am

what is so sick about this pic.
If you mean this is it than it
would look very cheap!
I hope you just want to say it
is the right way to think about
the new iPod touch.

Cheers yours StefoD

"Sick" is American slang for a compliment...IT is not a acurate rendition but it is cool anyway!

If you have an accurate mockup, or real picture of the new iPod, is it possible to send me it via e-mail (I will tell you my e-mail if you exept) so as to not cause any problems with Applelegal?

admin | August 23, 2007 - 6:29am

we are good, law abiding citizens. Of course we won't send our spyshots your way....but the closest mockup will be presented

paulMASSACRE (not verified) | August 23, 2007 - 6:16am

If that picture is going to be what it's like... I'm definitely getting saving ;-]
Any slight hints admin? haha.

admin | August 23, 2007 - 6:27am

that isn't it at all. We've given all we know in regard to specifics. Next week we'll present the closest - and maybe separately the coolest mockups we can find

Thanks for reading!

Ah right, but a touchscreen is guaranteed nonetheless?

Apple Enthusiest (not verified) | August 23, 2007 - 6:32am

My question is, if you can answere it legaly, is which OS on the "iPhone-like" iPods will look like now. The current iPhone OS, or the leaked iPod OS, or something completely different?

admin | August 23, 2007 - 6:46am

iPhone OS - Coverflowage

Apple Enthusiest (not verified) | August 23, 2007 - 6:35am

(If it is possible to answere without breeching ethics/law) Is the new iPod OS on the iPhone-like iPods look like the iPhone OS, or a deveation of it?

admin | August 23, 2007 - 6:47am

we've seen coverflow only

jé (not verified) | August 23, 2007 - 7:19am

You guys that claim to have seen it, can you at least tell us if the device looks nice?

admin | August 23, 2007 - 7:24am

it is more or less and iPhone, so yes, it is nice

blackfett (not verified) | August 23, 2007 - 7:29am

haha, i love 9to5mac and its tenacity :)
any idea on release date?

admin | August 23, 2007 - 8:07am

thanks!

Mid to Late September

Jé. (not verified) | August 23, 2007 - 8:08am

Thx... So I hope that the price will make it looks rather like an iPod.

This is my attempt.

I imagine that the tilt sensor would still be present, so that in the vertical position it would show whatever the iPod part of the iPhone shows when vertical - album art and stuff for the currently playing song?

Hilarious. Not very acurate but style points for sure.

gfxspy (not verified) | August 24, 2007 - 8:01am

Oh that actually wins!
