iPhone is first smartphone to visit alien mothership, gets reception

Good news folks. When the aliens arrive our iPhones will work on their ships, at least according to the new V television series [iTunes link].

The iPhone has been seen twice on the show so far, both times being toted by the human traitor Tyler Evans, the second time when Tyler flies on up to the mothership floating over NYC. Admittedly, he is using the iPhone to take pictures of the alien lizard hottie Lisa, so his treason might be forgivable under the circumstances.

But come on Ty, you've got video recording on that 3GS. Next time she does this, how about a little filming?

I love Apple product placement, particularly because Apple has a long history of not paying for it. Abram Sauer has a nice list of recent product placements. Have you seen Apple products in any other recent films or television shows? Tell us in the comments!

I'd like AT&T to work on reception on the face of the planet before we start talking about aliens!

This would mean that Apple makes different types of Iphones for different parts of the world? Is it right?

About everything on Fox.

House:MBPs, iPhones, iMacs
Lie to Me: same
Dollhouse: iPhones abound
Fringe: iPhones and MBPs have been seen.

Additionally, Eli has an iPhone on Stargate:Universe. I doubt it gets reception aboard the Destiny so it's basically an iPod touch with a camera. I'm interested in seeing what apps he's using on board.

In the show Lie to me, every desktop computer at the Lightman Group is an aluminum iMac and Cal Lightman uses an iPhone.

Fictional plot aside, it's not entirely unplausible for any cell phone to work in a spaceship hovering a few hundred metres above existing skyscrapers.

IMplausible. Anyway, much more impressive is the scene in the Stargate: Universe premiere where Eli gets beamed out of his house onto a spaceship hovering a few miles above Earth, then goes to call his mother before being reminded by Rush (Robert Carlyle) that "that probably won't work up here."
