MobileMag has released a photo of the new Apple PowerPod. This sounds like an amazing device! With WiFi and video messaging, the PowerPod could very well be a hot seller.

it's a hoax because of the obviously fotoslopped speakers and camera. too many people just put a picture of the iSight on there, which doesn't make sense for a device like that.

Oh, and the speakers are eMac speakers.

As for color, no, it wouldn't be Al, as it's a consumer device. It would be white on the front, and the rest would be chrome, just like iPod.
Go the fuck ~

This was a joke, but it is inevitable that Apple will release an AudioVisual iPod like device soon to compete with the recent offerings from lamer companies.
Contains scenes of mild peril.

That iSight lens would be tiny.
Windows: 32 bit extensions and a graphical shell for a 16 bit patch to an 8 bit operating system originally coded for a 4 bit microprocessor written by a 2 bit company that can't stand 1 bit of competition.
