If it stays up is probably a fake

Everytime something like this happens you can judge how real the thing is based on Apples reaction. If they request it to be taken of then it's probably real.
But then spymac.com is supposed to be run by Germans and Canadians. Maybe that would protect them a bit from Apple legal.

I still use my Palm IIIx. I have thought of changing or upgrading several times. But nothing can add any useability or real functionality to my Palm IIIx. the color screen is nothing more than a gimmick. and make the unit un-useable outside, and forces you to charge it everyday. The neat-o add-on gadgets are only toys, and the mp3 player add-on for the handspring is lame and more expensive than buying a seperate mp3 player.
the only palm device that has my interest is the Sharp Zaurus running linux. but only for a few of the neat-o features. as for productivity? it offer's nothing, and will actually hamper my productivity by forcing to learn a new interface, no Linux sync and probably a much shorter battery life.
So what can apple offer to this world that would entice me to drop my palm-pilot for their peoduct?

Apple's licensing their hardware to 3rd party vendors would have been the best move they made except for none of the 3rd parties that Apple licensed to actually expanded the market. While they brought faster CPU speeds to the market among some other neat things, they just eroded Apple's share of the Mac market and didn't actually increase the Mac market. This was bad because the Mac market was too small to support everyone.
One of the best moves Apple made was buying out Power Computing and getting their great engineers and technologies.

That mystery unit looks suspiciously like a Game Boy to me. I think Woz was enjoying a bit of Tetris.:)
