Greg posted this sleek and stylish shot of the “Giant iPod Prototype” apparently on display at Panic software headquarters -
This is a giant ipod prototype they have in the front display case. Apparently, it was big so that no one would know they were working on a mobile music device. The size was disguise.
Keep in mind this one’s also been posted to the the !Faux (Things that are FAKE) pool

I worked on the team and know for a fact this is one of the original stealth prototypes.
Mr. Holbrook (later a Panic employee) was one of the original iPod software team members.
