Correspondents for Italian-based Mac web publication, MacityNet, claim to be one of the first outsiders to catch a glimpse of Apple's flash memory-based iPod digital music player.

Earlier this weekend, while camping outside the front entrance to San Francisco's Moscone Center -- the exhibition hall which is home to the Macworld Expo -- the publication's staff were privy to a sneak peek of Apple marketing materials for an upcoming iPod music player.

Through the Moscone's glass facade, workers could be seen hoisting massive banners advertising a new iPod and sporting the slogan "Life is Random."

Haha! The photos at Macitynet are so paparazzi (shooting through glass and all). I can just imagine a fellow camped out across the road under a hood for camouflage with a DSLR and a 70-200mm lens mounted on a tripod waiting for an opening. And I thought only Hollywood celebs had to deal with this. :P

Hmmm... life is random. I can't imagine using an iPod without a display. My inner obsessive compulsive would go crazy. :wound:
