Open the image you'd like to use with your iPod and bring it into your file. Name the layer image and put it at the top of the layers palette. Reduce/enlarge the layer until the image fits into the screen like below. You can use the rectangular marquee tool to select and delete any extra areas.

With the image reflect layer as the active layer, choose Edit>Transform>Flip Vertical. While holding the shift key use the move tool to drag the reflect layer down.

Add a new layer. Put it at the top of the layers palette. Make a selection and fill it with white. Don't deselect. Subtract from the selection so you have a section on the left still selected. Fill this with blue. Deselect.

Add a new layer. With the pencil tool set at 2px, hold the shift key and then click and drag to make a straight line. Choose Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur...>Radius: 0.6 pixels. Look at the left side of the bar. If you notice any of the blurred white line going past the white bar make a selection around it and choose delete. Link and merge Layer 1 and Layer 2 and name the layer blue bar.

With the type tool add your text. Below is the font and settings I used. I did change the pt size for the title and times. You can use a horizontal guide to line up the times.
