What is it with my American friends and Verizon/Cincular? Surely there is more than 2 phone networks in the States?

Verizon and Cingular are probably the 2 biggest. We also have T-Mobile, Sprint/Nextel, US Cellular, and a ton of regional carriers.

Why is it supposed to be video chat? It is a fake it was already admitted from what I remember.
Everyone assumes that iChat means Video chatting. Why can't it just be a phone that has iChat on it, and integrates really well with iChat users. My windows mobile phone does that. It uses MSN messenger really well.
Video iChat would be the thing everyones demanding but no one is using or truly wanting...
Think Different
I don't belive this is real. Its to big. Phones are getting smaller and smaller so why would apple make somthing this large?
I don't think apple would do a mobile video phone. There really isn't a market for it yet. Two years ago at CES several companies were pitching video phones for land lines and I still havn't seen any on the shelves and nobody I know has one. Plus, if Apple won't do a tablet Mac stating there isn't a profitable market why would they do a video phone? The camera is most likely ment to be just a regualr camera.
So why "Think Different"?
I have seen several USB handsets come to market over the last year geared towards VoIP users. With iChat using VoIP there would be a market for a Mac handset. And with built-in Bluetooth standard on just about every Mac why not make a bluetooth handset? The size would be right as it wouldn't have to be as compact and the shape would make sense to match the current apple offerings.
That said I'm 99% sure this is a fake.

There's a video somewhere on YouTube that prooves it's fake, people. I think it's in the second update of this article here on MR.
The iTalk Pod
my brother (who is a transexual) was going out with this one-legged prosthetics sales man, who sold a false knee to a bloke with a camera.
Well, anyway, this camera got stolen, right, and he had given up on ever finding it, until the police called him up to say they had found it during a drugs heist in, lets say the southern hemisphere.
When he went through the pictures on it he found this iTalk Pod. So obviously he gave it me to put on flickr. He's a real nice guy, and he totally exists, 110%.
I don't know if its real, but I do think its real, so thats good enough for me.
Opinions folks?

The original "iChat Mobile" fake in this thread is pretty ugly IMO. But some of these others look pretty good actually... I wonder if Apple checks these out for ideas.JRM PowerPod said:
I can't see them having hardware that slides open and closed though... too breakable and asthetically unpleasing. Nice photoshop though!

Mr. S also told me that the item involved would slide where the click-wheel is

Yeah,unweildy but its a Mac so it would probably get my money
fake phone
the screen has been printed by a printer, not just for the ad, but on the phone as well. Fake.
