check this out... actual pics of the 6g ipod

There was a thread about these pics awhile ago. Turns out they are blatantly photoshopped.

wrong. proof?

"It stands a good chance, however, that these images are fake; MacShrine has posted purported iPod AV pictures before, and they've been proven to be fakes . However, these images are very, very convincing, so only time will tell as to what Apple has in store for the world next."

That "article" is shens. Apple does NOT ship new product by boat. It goes by air. Some HUGE shipments (to Best Buy and the like) go by sea, but this "They are being built now and will be here in a month" is complete BS. Apple does not give that kind of opportunity for leaks.

That's why I got the Sansa. It does video, voice recording, FM tuner, and you can even record FM radio...dunno why you would want to though.

iPod U2 I 12/30/2004 - 03/21/2005
hold switch
iPod U2 II 03/21/2005 - 05/21/2005
dead headphone jack, I dropped it (from nightstand height), partially my fault
iPod U2 III 05/21/2005 - 11/19/2005
"sad iPod face"
iPod U2 IV 11/19/2005 - ?
hard drive going bonkers as of 08/29/2006

Why continue to reward Apple with your loyalty considering that crappy quality control?

<-- My little $130 Rio! Cali 265 with 512MB SD card has been dropped hard several times onto concrete yet continues to work perfectly two years going!

Haha, except that intermodal transport is THE most secure means of transportation available. Dozens of people handle product moving by air, and it's in smaller, easier-to-tamper-with containers. Intermodal containers are virtually tamperproof. The only people walking around near them are customs agents and dock workers strapping them onto a truck chassis or railroad car for overland transport. Everyone else is operating heavy machinery. The dockworkers are completely uninterested in opening containers, nevermind knowing where each one came from and where it's going.

And if you're really paranoid about your cargo security, there are tamperproofing devices that can be put on containers, which only you and customs can open. Air transport is RIDICULOUSLY expensive, and ridiculously insecure if you're looking to prevent "leaks".

what? by air? That would be insanely expensive.

Lightweight containers are prime suspects for that - a container full of product isn't lightweight. And even then, you don't open all the containers, you walk around with a dog on a leash, sniffing for poop.
