Found Footage: Possible video taken by iPhone?

Could this possibly be the first video taken by an iPhone? Over at iPhone Matters, Gregory Ng posts that he received a copy of this video from an Apple Store employee in California. In the video, you can see what appears to be an iPhone appearing on the iMac screen as recorded by its iSight. The video is not the highest quality and Ng writes that the sender compressed the video before sending it over email. What do you think? Real or hoax?

Fake or real, there is no denying the new iPhone tab on Apple's web site today. Almost missed it. Time's getting close and genuine won't be an issue. I'm getting mine. :)

As someone who has made two fakes (One widescreen iPod, and one iChat Mobile), one of which was featured on this site, I will say that it is 100% fake. A good attempt, but still a fake.

With the abundance of camera phones out there now, it would have made more sense for the guy to pull out his own camera phone, and shoot a video of the iPhone that way. In order for a fake to be convincing, the faker has to try to outthink everyone else, using the "iPhone" to record the video and then using an iSight to "prove" that it was real, just shows how little thought he put into it. It just doesn't make sense.

We don't care what the video looks like, we care about the phone...so, to all fakers out there: make a fake featuring the phone, not taken by the phone.

That is the dumbest, most convoluted "iPhone leak" video I could ever image. You need to try much harder, kids.

The concept is so stupid it makes my teeth hurt.

Note that the fake video lacks a camera lens
