I'm calling image Photoshopped, as they used the wrong font on the screen. Normally iPods use
Podium Sans, but the font in the above image (for song title, artist, and album, as well as time and volume) looks like Arial or Tahoma. (They left "Now Playing" as the correct font.)
Also, the iPod body is exactly the same as the iPod Video. I would think if a wide-screen iPod were to come out they would also change the body style. Every new generation iPod that has yet to come out always featured a new body. I'd almost think that Apple might use a anodized aluminum body, like the Nanos and Shuffles, to add color to the new iPods.
And last but not least, Arctic Monkeys would be an unusual band for Apple to put on a iPod graphic image. If the Artist was something like U2, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Gorillaz, Macy Gray, Cold Play (e.g. basically bands that Apple typically uses) and if the movie was Pirates of the Carribean, Cars, or The Office (again, movies/shows that Apple typically uses in iPod and iPhone ads), then it would seem more real. In this image, I think the Photoshopper just used their favorite band and movie.
Not that I'm doubting that there will be a wide/touchscreen iPod released soon. On the contrary, I would think that it would be inevitable that they would do so, as they haven't introduced a new iPod Video in quite a while.
