Video iPod banner for September 12th?

Last time we saw a banner shown at an Apple event was, well, last month for the WWDC 2006 extravaganza. But this banner, supposedly taken at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater in San Francisco for the event intended this Tuesday the 12th, pretty clearly depicts what appears to be the touchscreen (true) video iPod -- that is, if it's real. Of course, we can confirm nor deny anything, but obviously the churning machine that is the Apple rumor mill right now should not be discounted, friends. Two days until we all find out!

looks very photoshoppy, layout on ipod looks to overlappy and unaligned to be real ( why would a touch screen ipod make an on screen scroll wheel when choosing a menu option?

Who knows, apple has a bunch of refurbed ipods for sale, real cheap. Maybe they're trying to get rid of old models to make room for a new roll out?

Check it out, i bought one this weekend!

OK, i admit this looks fake, but for all those moaning about the DVD on the front row... could that not be for iTunes MOVIE store??

Now if only I had the insane amount of money Apple will charge for it...

Yes this banner is 100% fake except for one thing. There is going to be a video ipod released tommorrow. Now Whether or not its the "true" video ipod or just an upgraded ipod storage capacity there is going to be one. How I know you ask? Insider tips. Notice Bestbuy and Circuit City have not listed Ipod in there weekly ads in most places. This means they have a big change planned. Coclusion: a new ipod!!!!

While I do not think the banner is real, the DVD icon can be explained quite easily. They are advertising the fact that they will be selling full length movies through iTunes. That is a good explaination from where I am standing.

Also, when Apple is showing off an iPod, isn't it usually showing the Apple logo boot up screen?

It's fake there appears to be zero lighting on the banner. The apple logo and the computer are perfect white with zero shadowing.
