iPhone photo leak? No, just a calculator that looks like an iPod.

Confirmed -- It i 't a phone.

Reader " ace Taker" pointed us to fourtitude.com's gallery of images from a recent Audi advertising shoot rife with A le gear (iPod, MacBook Pro, Cinema Di lay) and noted an interesting object sitting in the desktop paper tray. With only 41 hours until showtime, why not indulge in some visual eculation? Not to mention, the Audi Q7 is niiiiiiice.

OK, it is white, and vaguely phone-shaped... to my eyes, it looks more like a programmable remote control than a Jonathan Ive-designed phone, but I may be jaded, skeptical and cranky. Perha it's a placeholder for the real iPhone and they'll just fix it in post.

Update 8:24 am ET: Thanks to sharp-eyed reader Brian, we have a leading candidate for the ID of the mystery bar: a Brookstone calculator, which just ha e to come with the pen holder and calendar also visible in the full image. The design of the calculator a ears strongly iPod-influenced, but a cellphone it ain't.

Thanks ace Taker and Brian!
