The next four weeks are going to be crazy. Maybe, once the iPhone is truly released into the wild, hysteria over sightings will recede until that day, however, the Internet is wild with any news of an iPhone in public. I won’t even cover one of the big iPhone stories of the weekend here (a photo of a man who is either holding an iPhone or possibly any other object that fits in the hand is not news), but I am intrigued by this video find.

It purports to be an Apple Store employee sneaking an iPhone onto the floor of the shop, then shooting video of himself being shown on a store iMac’s iSight. It looks pretty real. It could be faked pretty easily, though it would basically have to b e done with another camera phone or pocket video recorder dressed in an iPhone costume. What do you think?

    Fiction methinks. I can’t think why anyone in an Apple retail store would have access to a product that isn’t due for release for a few weeks yet. Is the iPhone even equipped to record video?

  2. Cypy says:

    …or maybe the guy was recording with any old phone, and just opened a movie that was already recorded that showed someone holding an iPod….

    “What are you doing” huh… hope they don’t behead him.

  4. Digga says:

    Or how about a simply pre-recorded video of him holding an iPod – when he approaches the computer claiming it’s live video relay of him, he’s just playing back the footage recorded before. He’d be recording it with whatever camera phone was used and it’s not a mirror recording at all.
