Fake Friday: iPhone Phorgery

Today's lame iPhone Phorgery is brought to you by youtube.com, vendor of many things mythical, unsightly or worse. In today's video, feast your eyes upon a novel-looking phone extension that appears to exist in only two dimensions, much as Zod (kneel before him!) was trapped in that whole Superman II thing. Hate the sounds. Hate the font. After factoring in imagination points, today's TUAW forgery score is 3.5 out of 10, with a severe 1.5 from the East German judge.

What do you think TUAWians? How do you Rate The Fake?

1 out of 10, because it did pretend to be a phone.

This is a concept, not a fake. A fake would have to be trying to pass itself off as the real thing, which this clearly isn't.

I think it is absolutely horrid. You can see the plastic where the screen is and the GUI looks photoshopped together. If your making a mock up, at least make it look somewhat presentable. Not like some 5 year old made it (Sorry for insulting 5 year olds across the world by comparing them to this garbage)

I did not watch the video with sound, but it is a rather keen video.
I was thinking more Star Trek than Star Wars, but a clever idea nonetheless!
