Is THIS The New iPod Phone?
The Apple sites are notorious for rampant rumors, speculation and -- famously -- "leaked" mockups actually created by Apple fans with Photoshop. Sometimes, however, even the most unlikely rumors -- such as, for example, that Apple would use Intel chips -- turn out to be true. This image, posted on the Apple Insider site, may or may not be from Motorola and may or may not be a mock-up of the highly anticipated iPod phone.The Apple sites are notorious for rampant rumors, speculation and -- famously -- "leaked" mockups actually created by Apple fans with Photoshop.

This image, posted on the Apple Insider site, may or may not be from Motorola and may or may not be a mock-up of the highly anticipated iPod phone.My guess is that it's fake. Why? Because it looks to me like a regular phone, with an iPod-like circle pasted onto the keypad. That strikes me as an impossibly inelegant design idea, and much more likely the work of a lazy enthusiast.
We'll see.
UPDATE: Not to be outdone, MacDailyNews later posted these pictures of what look like actual or prototype versions of the CGI mock-up posted on Apple Insider. Hmmmmm. Still looks too clunky to get the Steve Jobs signature.
