iChat Mobile: is it the iPhone (part forty bajillion)?

Ok everybody, alright, get it all out of your systems now. WWDC's in a few days, and the predominant rumor is that the iPhone is what we're going to get from it. Apple knows we want it, and we know they're working on it. Hell, at this point the only mystery is why they're bothering to keep it such a secret, but so long as they're withholding it from the general public, we're going to be invariably baited into running possibly-photoshopped images of what could be ads depicting the device everyone's been waiting for. According to this particular rendition it's going to be called iChat Mobile (clever, right?), and looks a little something like the Apple Remote, playback buttons front and center -- obviously intended for a proper cellphone-iTunes experience. Alright then, we've filed, now you decide. (Click on for a larger picture.)

Photoshopped, obviously. Theres the thinkg from the ipod shuffle on there. And plus, I think its going to be WAY better.

I believe that it is fake... but the real 'iPhone' or 'iChat Mobile' could look extreemly similiar. As another person said, the battery is incorrect, which is a sign. Another example, is the grammer they use, just like someone else said...

A lot of people area arguing its looks disgusting, it looks pretty neat, just like the Apple Remote i have except taller, and phone buttons.

I like this design so much more. I never really liked the click wheel and loved the old touch buttons. Its too bad this design won't be used *sigh*

It ain't it. Looks like somebody cropped some controls off a Shuffle. They wouldn't make it that ugly.
