MacRumors posted a video showing the "new" iPod interface. An hour later "Apple Legal" asked them to remove. That pretty much means rumor confirmed!
The video (now on YouTube, embedded below) shows the new interface. While it is vastly superior to the current iPod interface, it doesn't come close to the lushness of the iPhone. Also, this interface seems to support the current Click-wheel and not a touch interface that many had been hoping for. Can Apple make an interface that like this using the current Click-wheel as the interface and make as intuitive as people expect from them? I don't think so. Hopefully this video is a fake or at best an early sample interface for the new iPod. In any case we will find out in the next few weeks (Aug 7th is being touted).
On a side note, the demo also highlights "The Beatles". People have been waiting for their cataogue to be released since Apple settled their differences with Apple last year! Expect to see "Special Media Event Invites" going out in the next week or 2. There's a lot on the way and I think Steve will want to present them!
