Thanks to Dan!

What, you've never heard of the new iBlob?

elnzaod said...

My IPod Touch can do that..

gabriel said...

It's one of the few devices that looks (SORT OF) right upside-down.

Sheldon Pax said...

IF I take a screencap of the iPod app while it's playing a song and after i chose this photo The iPod Touch can do that. Oh don't ask me why I would do something so silly, Ok? :-)

is it bad that I thought the PsD was the price, since it's circled? I was thinking "but there's nothing wrong with t6hose numbers!"

n said...

My ipod cannot, and i think none can. there are some apps that can rotate 360 degrees, but music player only do it for 270º

Bruce Rusk said...

@n: Mine can rotate 360º; in fact I like it better that way and I leave it permanently in that state.

Seal said...

For those obsessed with the orientation, check out the upper right corner again.

Morgan said...

Seal, the device is upside down. There is absolutely no way to get around that.

ZaphodQB said...

I think the problem you are all missing is the fact that the device is warping in the upper left hand corner. MIne can't do that!

Razumikhin said...

Forgive me for not knowing how a iPod Touch looks like.

screamingmimi90 said...

Yeah, it's upside down alright. http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/

erin said...

n.... rotating something 360 degrees...is not moving it at all!!!! If it's upside down, it rotated 180*, not 360*

Apple had that problem with the Iphone overheating. Maybe the music player has a little heat problem and it melts.

erin, rotating something 360 degrees is moving something, through 360 degrees of movement. it will end up in the same orientation, but it will go through a 180 degrees rotation on the way

Jon Rob said...

The warping comes from the newspaper itself. Its not been photographed flat.

The mistake is that its upside down. Not strictly a photoshop disaster. Photoshoot disaster, maybe

Anna said...

Nope, it's definately the melting of the thing not the newspaper. So what that it is upside down? Does it make any difference? Forgive me my ignorance ;)

LauraH said...

I thought it was the dodgy reflection of the headphones.

Belle Epoque said...

Is it my imagination is that the NEW "FlexiPod"?

Miranda said...

It's bent!

It needs Viagra. It has a softoff. lol. Or maybe it's just a freaky new app. ;) iLimp!

Is the warping actually there or is that just due to the poor assed photograph of the source? (the advert that is)

Or is it that its upside down? nobody knows; yet its not a fudge, or a mistake, or an error, but a DISASTER!

I think we need to set a higher bar personally; as even if either of these possible mistakes are true, its definitely not 'disastrous' ... ok maybe the warping if it is as bad as it seems :)

samara said...

Upside down and weirdly shaped. Well done!

Kasey said...

I think the client would care if the ipod touch was upside down or not. They tend to worry about such things.

I don't have an ipod touch, but don't the round button and the rev/pause/forward icons go together?

Judge Jordan said...

I don't think anyone else would notice this, unless they themselves had the extortionate device.

Jervas Dudley said...

Is the pause, play, whatever bar supposed to reflect the album cover art? I don't have an ipod touch.

Jolene said...

the new iPod touch.
it's made of rubber.

Of course this is a psd, BUT it can be done in real, without any modifications on the iPod:

Just make a screenshot on the iPod, and view the picture in the pictures app upside down ;-)

Looks like this:

@Jervas Dudley: Yep, its reflecting

m_write_blog said...

They obviously photographed it without turning it on. The funny thing about the iPod touch is that the headphone jack (at least on the first-generation model) is on the bottom. So without turning it on, one could assume that the bottom is actually the top.

Austin said...

HAHA, that's ridiculous.

Nobody listens to Jack Johnson.

Avoura said...

Not only is it a bendy ipod, but the price has no currency, so maybe it is not as expensive as you think. I mean, this is obviously an advert for reject ipods, where they put the screen in upside-down and the side is warped.
The price could be 229.99 cents, considering it's a reject.

Mark said...

the earphone reflection is fucked too. thats what I thought it was before it clicked

Harlan said...

How the hell do you get the home button on the top of it? seriously, did they have the picture, than for some reason want to change the areas of the buttons?

ShallWeMeat said...

I know there was an LP called "Molten Beats" but that's kinda absurd, innit!
