Happen to notice anything strange about the new iPod Touch images up on the Apple site as of late? The good readers of Engadget did, and after a closer inspection myself, I have to give them a firm *tip of the cap*. Well done readers, well done.
Check out the image above. You’ll notice that even though no phone capabilities are built-in to the iPod Touch, the Phone app icon is clearly displayed in the bottom-left corner. Also, another screenshot featuring the Spotlight search clearly shows off the text messaging app… again, a feature that is clearly not applicable to the iPod Touch.
Call it an honest oversight, or call it plain old laziness on the designer’s part… either way I don’t really care. Bottom line is I thought it was worth a good laugh. Hopefully you agree.
Note: Since news of these mix-ups came out, Apple has since changed up the image of the iPod Touch with the offending Phone app icon. A few offending images remain on the site, but I suspect they will be fixed in short order.
