6G iPod UI?

A number of videos of the purported 6G iPod User Interface have been provided anonymously to MacRumors. It has been previously rumored that the latest iteration of the iPod would be released August 7th, along with new iMacs. The new UI is a cross between the current click-wheel interface, and the more “touchable” iPhone. It’s unclear whether these are official videos or not; however, the graphics in the videos are quite good if these are in fact faked.

The design does corroborate with some of the latest patents, which continue to include click-wheels, which would lead one to assume that Apple could be designing a touchscreen click-wheel hybrid, which would upgrade everyone’s favorite music player without cannibalizing sales of the iPhone.
