iTunes 5.0 for PSP?

Dude, if you thought those screenshots of a Pocket PC Phone running a Windows Mobile version of iTunes looked fradulent, you're definitely not going to be feeling these pics of a PSP running iTunes 5.0 that have turned up. It's especially hard to believe that Apple and Sony would get together on this given how much they've bickered over the relatively simple matter of adding Sony artists to the Japanese version of the iTunes Music Store, but stranger things have happened this year, right? Anyway, some person claims to have played with a PSP running a mobile version of iTunes that their "friend" managed to get a copy of. Easily faked, especially since the PSP has a photo viewer (a video clip might have reassured us, but no dice), so we're officially casting suspicion on this one until we can get our hands on a copy of the software.

[Thanks, Julian & Stan]

UPDATE: Yup, just like we thought, confirmed as fake!

I wish this was real.

iTunes and it's video features would work well with the psp as a secondary vehicle.

Obviously looked fake, why would it have Music Store and Radio? And how could someone search? Must be one mother of an interface.

You know, this could be vaguely possible if someone would design a vnc client for the psp. That would be pretty sweet.

[Chris @ Dec 19th 2005 12:20AM]

That doesn't even sort of look right. Remember, Stevie J. is all about design and consistency. This software fake pushed the "currently playing" window too far to the left. It's just not what Apple would want on a competitor's device.

Soooo FAKE!

They could've at least gone to the trouble of not cropping out the play button and the max/min/exit buttons...

Notice how there's something typed into the search bar in the top corner?

Notice how there's no keyboard on or hooked up to the PSP?
