The zunePhone
Mark sent us this silly mockup of a zunePhone that his coworker made, complete with the signature commercial music for the iPhone (which is actually called "Perfect Timing (This Morning)" by Orba Squara, available on an iTS near you). What's up with that hand? Did he actually animate it using stills from the real commercials? If so, A for effort, even if it does end up looking a little strange.
The flashing 12:00 makes me laugh (as does what happens to the Polaroid after it's done developing), but otherwise, this phone is pretty much what you'd expect from Microsoft-- a blatant copy, only done messier, tackier, and much, much later. Good times.

Yup. I was expecting a nice BSOD at the end. And SCUMM reference above in one of the comments, nice :-) ... How much wood would a woodchuck chuck... If only they hand Bill Gates' picture animated with a really fast-moving, funny looking mouth/lipsync ala Monkey Island 1

Love the old school flash cubes too, and I REALLY miss the old rotary dials, back when phones had real weight to them (you could kill someone by whacking them with a phone handset).
Simply put, very well done people! Thanks for the laugh

someone needs to build a rotary dialer app for the iPhone now...I'd so use that :-)

kinda cheesey and does not address the real issues: - BSOD and everyday mess with drivers/software,
- malware (not spam - my G5 gets spam like that viagra mail chain all the time)
- security
It would never have rotating dial or flash cube or polaroid prints but the camera app would simply be too buggy to use. and restart phone.
missing BSOD at the end of the video :-)
