Slashdot:
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.

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.
