Claimed Tablet Video Sparks Questionable Speculation of Apple Tablet

Someone else mentioned that the prices were in English Pounds. Therefore, it makes sense for the controls to be opposite of those in the US, just like with cars.
I really hope so.
And why does this video seem so real and convincing to me...it just looks right except for that wrong corner "x" business.
Reading the newspaper, (er, e-paper
"Want to buy a chair or Kitchen from Ikea - there's an App for that!"
If that is it, I'm in!
- D
EDIT: Loving the prices being in Pounds - it must be coming to the UK first!
{sigh..} It was in pounds because it came from France. Did you notice the .FR from the LINK.
If you tried to view this shortly after it was posted, you know why streaming sucks.
The internet needs a spawning service for surge popular content.
Store-forward, not streaming.

Listen, the guy clearly went out of his way to try and fool you all, even adding a nice flicker to the display to put to rest any questions, however when was the last time Apple had a small INTERLACE display?
It's FAKE for certain, you might as well be arguing if the Scooby-Doo movie used puppets or CG...

Which reminds me of my only concerns about a tablet from Apple. If they make it like a big iPhone, that glass touchscreen is just going to scream out to be accidentally broken. My iPhone's screen is relatively small spends a lot of time in the safety of my pocket--neither of which would be true of a tablet.
France uses and UK uses £...
I think he meant that the cross is on the wrong side (right as apposed to left)
the zero reflection thing, debatable
Sorry and not to be trollish, but I've never had a problem(not even when playing football or basketball)
I believe he meant that dashboard puts it on the right(which it does, when other apple stuff uses the left)

looks to me like this is a sample "catalog" format that Apple might be pitching to clients.
I think it would be pretty awesome if you could shop that way casually.
There's an apple Newton in the background top right. Fake or not, to me that proves the person making the video wants to reallly make you to think he's got an exclusive.
( the fact that it hasn't been taken down yet makes me think it's a fake )
It's pretty cool though, I'll give it that.
This device, fake or not, has a feature I really wondered about how Apple was going to tackle.
If you notice , the screen is not centered. There's a border on one side ( at the top when it's landscaped )
That is truly a perfect practical innovative... it lets you comfortably hold the device one handed without smudging. And combine thie with the orientation sensors and you can make it so, in portrait mode, a left handed people holds in while a right handed person holds it the other direction, and it adjusts the screen accordingly.
Genius!
And thanks to "Doctor Q" who has nothing better to do but edit my posts, all my comments are now out of context.
Those were 3 different topics, sir. Yes, they were posted all in a row, but one was a response to someone and the other 2 were different topics.
I was trying to spur conversaiton since there were not very many people talking in this thread at the time.
Could you please stop using your moderator power for things that are your personal taste? I didn't violate any board rules, and I didn't post anything large or distracting or volumeous.
Listen, I'm not going to argue with a generation that poos themself over AVATAR'S special effects. It's like arguing with a blind person about the color of the room they're in. I know better, I have the eye for this stuff. It SCREAMS super-imposed screen images. The shadow of his left thumb is a result of the chroma-keyed screen, either blue or green, having a shadow of his thumb on it due to lighting. Because of this it creates a sort of "shadow" in the composite shot. It would be impossible in REALITY to create a shadow on a source of light -.-' elementary physics here
When he flicks it, the superimposed image does not sync with the chroma-keyed background and it's as though the screen images "detach" from the screen. There is NO glare on the screen, and the lighting is not simulated well at all.
AGAIN, there would be no screen flicker if this was real because the image would be progressive scan, take a video of your iPhone screen why doncha?
When he flicks it you see a glare travel up the lower part yet it doesn't effect the so-called screen?! FAKE! IT'S DEFINITIVE!
But just to go on, his hands stand out as they've been keyed in thus creating sharp lines when in REALITY they would be smooth and natural.
Look at this scene from Return of the Jedi and if you agree the man in front looks super-imposed onto the image of the Rancor then you will understand why the tablet video is a CLEAR fake!
Of course if you can't see the apparent eye-gouging outline around the man...there's no hope for you, get back to gawking at The Day the Earth Stood Still.

Two questions.
1. Who exactly in this thread is arguing with you so vociferously that it merits this kind of response? Seems to me you're just looking for an excuse to shout about your video expertise and frankly, nobody cares.
2. Do you realize how arrogant and holier-than-thou your overall tone is? If you do possess the expertise you claim, you're going to turn people against you for being so needlessly in-your-face about it.
I'm sure everyone here welcomes your input every bit as much as I do, but FFS, try a different tone.
From the first few seconds of the video, whatever that device is appears to be weigh very little.
