Apple: “Let’s Rock” iPod with Rounded Edges

As seen in the giant banner on Yerba Buena Center, the silhouette of the iPod seems to have rounded edges. It resembles more to the iPod touch than any iPod nano; released or the rumored one.

The mini-stereo jack is located at the bottom of the iPod, and the size seems to be in the iPod touch range.

What does this mean? Who knows!

Apple Fake News: Something Code-named “Rabbit”

This just in! Since I can’t really explain what it is without springing all the traps set by Steve Jobs and his henchpersons, I’d have to use some other words that came to mind to describe what Apple is planning to unveil on September 9th  “Let’s Rock” event. That was such a run-on sentence.

Anyway, the first word that came to mind is “rabbit” when the imaginary Apple employee “accidentally” revealed the “mystery” product.

Remember that this is “fake” and don’t even think that it is real.

Note to AT&T: Let this happen!
