It wasn’t long ago that my inbox was full of screen caps from an image editing program of a new iPod, it was a fat yet small iPod that we now know as the 3rd gen Nano. We posted the photos and were later told by Apple’s legal team to take them down.

A similar tipster tonight has very generously given us these pics of the iPhone 2, or iPhone 3G as some are calling it. Like the Fat Nano from last summer, the images come from Apple or AT&T promotional material that shows not just the new iPhone, but also gives away a couple secrets.

It’s thinner than the current model, for sure, with a more MacBook Air-like bezeling. It’s got stereo speakers on the back and what appears to be the same screen as the current generation. But the real news here isn’t the Exchange support, but the front facing camera for iChat AV.

Oh yes, it’s there. Not only is the new iPhone smaller and more capable, but it also comes in red as part of the Product (Red) campaign, like many iPods do.

Buy a 3G, video-chatting iPhone and fight AIDS. We like it. Hit the jump for the rest of the pics.

[UPDATE] After some painstaking image manipulation, the text of the iChat blurb reads as below:

Video just became a little more fun. Start a real time video chat with other AT&T subscribers via 3G networking, or with iChat buddies via WiFi. The video calling revolution has begun.

So you can do video chat with your iChat buddies, but only via WiFi. Otherwise it’s phone to phone. Interesting.

[UPDATE] 2 See that part about about Windows XP or Vista being needed? Many people are saying it’s proof these are fake. No, we think Apple’s launching iChat for Windows, just like they did Safari. You heard us.

Are they the real thing? Or are they Photoshopped? I think they are the real iPhone 2... PING!

MacPing!

If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.

too bloody cool. I will have to upgrade mine if they make one with a really nice size like say 32GB and not too expensive.

Then my 8GB will find its way into some other lucky person’s hands.

[KoRn]

Very cool, but do they all come with the picture of the stupid looking guy on them? What were the designers thinking?

[romanesq]

No, it is real. I could tell (finally) when I held mine up against the other. At the very top you can see the shape is curved differently and not the same all around.

They got the real deal.

[NinoFan]

Any rumors as to whether it’ll be available immediately after announcement?

[Golden Eagle]

Likely debunked here:

Do people think that they are so damned important they have to have a phone everywhere they go? I wonder how many accidents have been caused by some moron on a cellphone not paying attention to their surroundings?

[Uri’el-2012]

When will be able to do Keynote(powerpoint) presentations from my iPod touch ?

[Spktyr]

I wonder how many lives have been saved by having instant communications in the palm of your hand?

Tell me, do you also support the banning of guns because some users are idiots? Same logic there, bud.

[SunkenCiv]

the iPhone Air...

[Swordmaker]

No, it is real. I could tell (finally) when I held mine up against the other. At the very top you can see the shape is curved differently and not the same all around.

Not too sure... notice that the second to last picture has a border... Photoshop's ruler, I think..

[politicalwit]

do you also support the banning of guns because some users are idiots?

Absolutely not!!! I think we should be able to shoot these a**holes that think their chatting on their phone is more important than paying attention to their surroundings.

BTW....I would venture to say that more accidents have been cause by the lack of attention by cellphone users than lives saved.

[politicalwit]

Ohhh....btw...do people normally clean their firearms or mess with their sidearm while driving? If the do they have no business on the road.

[dinodino]

You need to rethink your position. How many lives do you think have been saved by having cellphones at hand?

If you think you’re not important enough to warrant having a phone in your pocket, that’s fine—just leave it at home.

[boogerbear]

My old boss got a cellphone (back in the 90s when it was interesting) in case of emergency, when he finally had an emergency he wound up landing on his cellphone and breaking it. So much for the life saving instant communications.

I don’t want to ban cellphones, I just want to be able to shoot the morons who can’t keep in their lane while yapping on the phone while behind the wheel of a car (can’t say they’re driving because that implies actually controlling the vehicle, which they aren’t). And severe beatings for the jackasses announcing their sex life to the world in stores, they aren’t actually a threat to anybody like the morons in cars so nothing lethal for them, just a physical demonstration of what they’re doing to my ears.

Lots of rumors . . . be fun to see Jobs' presento Moday at 1 Eastern!

[politicalwit]

You get one big “atta boy”!!! You get my point. Talking on a cellphone while driving is irresponsible.

[politicalwit]

If you think you’re not important enough to warrant having a phone in your pocket, that’s fine

Having a cellphone available and having it glued to the side of your head and yapping while you should be directing your attention to your surroundings are two different things.

If real the Video Chat feature (iChat equiv) has many possibilities. This feature (iChat) has been truly revolutionary while traveling. Remember Dick Tracy?
