Make a copy of the ipod layer. Place the copy under the ipod layer. Click on the ipod copy and choose Edit>Transform>Flip Vertical. Hold the shift key and use the move tool to drag the copy down. Add a guide and place it where the two ipod layers meet.

Choose the gradient tool. Click on the grad showing in the options bar and select the Black, White gradient. With the ipod copy as the active layer click and drag from the bottom of your file to where the guide is and release. When you do you'll see a slight red coloring in your file.

Name Layer 1 reflection. Throw away the ipod copy layer. And you're done. To save this signature with a colored background use the save as a jpg in Photoshop setting found here, My settings. To save the iPod with a transparent background first hide the back color layer. Then use the save as a PNG-24 setting found here, Transparent background without a matte.
