I don’t think we’ll see a real one of these from Apple until someone comes out with a mini HDD drive that holds at lest 100 GB and fuel cells become practical. Otherwise the thing just wouldn’t be worth buying.

I can truthfully say I was not fooled. I knew from the minute I saw it that it was an April fool. No…really…

The only problem is the missing touchwheel. The singular best feature of the ipod. I doubt theyd remove it. NExt time make your apr.fools joke realistic

It’s pretty stupid… in concept… who would ever want to watch a fearture film on one of these things? Torture.
But that makes the joke even funnier.

You should have made the design better, you forgot to add the scroll wheel. Blah Blah Blah! It was a joke. Nothing was real about it. Stop complaining about something that doesn’t exist. It fooled alot of people (including me). Good job ipodlounge! Nice joke, I was ready to buy it.

That has to be the worst mock-up I have ever seen. I like how the buttons are half in the screen, creating a screen edge that looks like rolling hills. That would go great over movies.
Seriously, if you want to trick someone, try harder.
