- dannelander, on 06/15/2009, -2/+44It's from a swedish designfirm. The do post production work so I wouldn't bet to much on the legitimacy of this. Nicely done video though.
Also, this has been posted before on digg. - eviltrunkz, on 06/15/2009, -4/+38Coming Soon: Apple Tablet!
- CityandColourrr, on 06/15/2009, -3/+31All this looks like to me is running the iPhone SDK on a large screen.
Whenever you're using the SDK on Windows and/or Mac, you can open an emulated preview of the OS.
This acts exactly like that and doesn't seem to be anything other than that. - TheSnuffster, on 06/15/2009, -1/+27http://www.dreamfield.se/
The company who made this video do post-production... - joncarr, on 06/15/2009, -4/+28Where is the IR receiver? It makes it hard to use the Apple remote without one.
Since when do those DELL widescreen monitors have accelerometers built in? How else is the system supposed to detect orientation?
Nice work, but still a FAKE! - redtapemedia, on 06/15/2009, -0/+24iPhone icons are NOT vector images, neither are are 99% of OS images. I am an iPhone developer and icons ARE NOT VECTOR. You are just making stuff up.
- Delphium226, on 06/15/2009, -0/+20Am I going to have to get bigger pockets?
- sonofabiscuit, on 06/15/2009, -0/+19I'm sorry.

- jbird123, on 06/15/2009, -1/+17Ha.. iswydt
- wastern, on 06/15/2009, -3/+17you know you can change the resolution of a screen right? Just because a monitors native res is 1680x1050 doesn't mean you can't run it at something else
For example, I have a 1080p TV. I have a Mac Mini hooked up at a media center, but I set the resolution down to 720p on the Mini to, yes, stretch everything out so I could actually read it and click on things easier from my couch
Or sometimes when you play old games they'll adjust your resolution on your screen to some ***** res so the game will play smoother - jakobrowning, on 06/15/2009, -0/+13Because curiosity leads to innovation.
- MiDri, on 06/15/2009, -1/+12They're not vector on iphone. I've done a bit of work developing iphone themes from spring/winter board and they're all pngs.
- SquareWheel, on 06/15/2009, -2/+13Oh god, he's right.
- djjuice, on 06/15/2009, -3/+13of course its fake, pretty hard to turn a non touch screen dell display into a touch screen
- TheHayze, on 06/15/2009, -0/+10Not sure if you're a troll. But i'll answer anyway, it's was most likely an experiment; to see if it could be done. Obviously it was, so the video was short.
- FruitFocker, on 06/15/2009, -0/+9I saw the letters pop up over the top of the key... Did you miss that?
- BxBoy, on 06/15/2009, -4/+13I See What You Did There
- Cimlite, on 06/15/2009, -0/+9No, but a lot of them do have switches inside to let you swivel them around and have the desktop switch between landscape/horizontal mode accordingly.
- SwabTheDeck, on 06/15/2009, -2/+10This is the most ridiculous explanation ever. First of all iPhone OS was already ported over to x86 by Apple and is distributed with the SDK. You seem to contradict yourself here. I've written a couple iPhone apps, and when you want something to run in the simulator, you use a different compiler that compiles it for the x86 version of the OS. Second, why would they build a GUI from scratch on Linux?! All they're doing is running the freaking simulator zoomed in, and either modified the touch screen to send keystrokes for things like orientation change or pinch, or they've got some dude hitting the keyboard manually that's not shown on camera. Why would you spend a few dozen hours building this from scratch when you can do it in about 5 minutes with the simulator?
Note: for people that don't seem to get what the iPhone simulator actually is, it is a full version of iPhone OS compiled natively for x86. The only things that are missing are some of the apps that come pre-installed from Apple like the music player and the App Store and whatnot. These aren't core OS components, just peripheral apps. This is different from an emulator, which would be taking native ARM-compiled apps (iPhones use ARM CPUs) and translating the ARM instructions on the fly into x86 instructions. This is why when you're running an emulator like for a Super Nintendo or something, you need a CPU that's about 50 times faster than the platform it's emulating. An Intel Mac is not 50 times faster than an iPhone, it's about 5 times faster. - techdever, on 06/15/2009, -0/+8Because you touch yourself at night.
- adammharvey, on 06/15/2009, -0/+7a really big phone
- thecompkid, on 06/15/2009, -2/+9Even the iPhone simulator in the SDK is not an emulator, it is just a very stripped down version of the iPhone OS compiled for Intel.
Hey, as a matter of fact, the three apps that they opened in this video (contacts, safari, photos) are the only apps you get on the iphone simulator. It would be trivial for them to get the display to output to full screen, to add the extra icons, to run it right after boot. - wastern, on 06/15/2009, -1/+8awesomeness
- heyimfromreddit, on 06/15/2009, -2/+8Don't you mean iPhone simulator.
And... iPhone SDK on Windows? - mrBitch, on 06/15/2009, -0/+6If you have seen the iPhone OS simulator running, then you would know that this demo is real.
Note also the Refit triple boot menu screen at the beginning... - inactive, on 06/15/2009, -0/+6I wish all OS images were vector, but they are totally not
- laserviking, on 06/15/2009, -0/+6The song is 'Sodomy and the Ensuing Shame' by Anal *****
- heyimfromreddit, on 06/15/2009, -0/+6Buried for saying "<company> ftw"
- inactive, on 06/15/2009, -0/+5Not likely that they would be the ones to do the programming for this. It sure does look cool though
- Cloud7654, on 06/15/2009, -0/+5Good thing yours helps to fix that.
- vvaduva, on 06/15/2009, -2/+7This is BS - touch screen monitors don't have accelerometers built in...cool idea though
- mrBitch, on 06/15/2009, -0/+5I saw the letters pop up as well, and the demo is real... it's using the iPhone OS simulator.
- Elranzer, on 06/15/2009, -0/+4Why?... Why not?
- inactive, on 06/15/2009, -3/+7So? everyone with the dev kit can run an emulator full-screen.
- mattgilberg, on 06/15/2009, -4/+8Very unlikely that is the iPhone OS. I'm unaware of anybody who has been able to emulate the iPhone's hardware (aside from the Apple dev kit) and to port the OS to x86 would be impossible without the original code. They probably just designed themselves a custom GUI and software for Linux using graphics pulled off of a jailbroken iPhone and the Qt framework.
- etx313, on 06/15/2009, -1/+5This is fake. That's just a Dell FPW 2405
- FruitFocker, on 06/15/2009, -0/+4SDK. Yawn.
- HypocriteDigg, on 06/15/2009, -0/+4Who the ***** says effin? Are you from Utah?
- velcrocore, on 06/15/2009, -3/+7Does that Dell monitor have an accelerometer? I love that when he turns the monitor, the software somehow knows that the screen turned.
- jonsterling, on 06/15/2009, -0/+4Why?
- kefkaantakrist, on 06/15/2009, -0/+3I don't know that much about Dell screens - couldn't tell you which model they were using in the video. But I do know that Dell makes some models with multitouch. Are you sure it's not one of those?
- web2pointYo, on 06/15/2009, -0/+3So its a screaming contest you want eh?
aaaAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! - strezznet, on 06/15/2009, -0/+3porTABLE
