iWalk

That's what I mean..."all those little abbreviations and patent number-type things that you can see pretty clearly on the back"....they appear to be printed in black and not molded or etched into the unit itself, which leads me to believe this thing can't be for real (besides all the other stuff pointed out). The black is aesthetically un-Apple like especially when paired white the quicksilver/clear/snow enclosures. Plus it would eventually flake off, unless it is protected by a layer of polymer or whatever. Still, it's a pretty awesome, and very thought provoking mock-up. Showing off little details like the patent numbers etc. gives it more believability, but Spymac didn't quite pull that one off in my eyes. Also, I don't know why the older circular power brick is figured so prominently in the stills and the movies...surely the so-called "iWalk" would have an iPod like one. Just by visually associating the mock-up with a real Apple product is another ploy. If it were real, it would stand by itself on it's own without that type of visual cue.
 
The iWalk is plugged into a TiBook using firewire. Why is it so odd that the TiBook is plugged into the wall? It might be fake, but pointing to the power cable as proof makes no sense.

REAL

I too have studied the footage and i think its real i know how to make some good fakes but there is a limit to reality it's REAL.

the unknow port on the top is soo easy, its a hardware port for all the extra's digital camera, wireless airport, GPS, why the hell would they put gigawire on a PDA!.


WOW i just finished this post and the link to the iwalk is GONE and its not at macspy.com

Well the count down is going 🙂
 
text is not moving

After detailed per-pixel grid analysis, I have come to the conclusion that the text is moving in perfect sync with the device, the only time the text moves, the unit itself moves the same number of pixels in the same direction, this leads me to believe that if this is a fake, it is one of the best fakes I have ever seen, I doubt even hollywood fx ppl would go to the lengths necessary to make those kinds of details. However I still have other issues with it (the turning of the wheel, etc.)
 
maybe we need help...

and to think we all sat here salivating....

to see new text appear on the Apple homepage...

he he he...
 
Lame

I think that they could of come up with a better one, like...

"it's all in your pocket'

or

"Only 45oz's"

or

"MY GOD!"

hehe
 
I can still pull up the iWalk pics etc

mod edit: the link that was here is no longer available
 
Off to bed...

but I still think the video has nothing that shows it to be a fake. This doesn't mean its real, but I think most of the "objections" raised thus far are without merit...

I'll tell you one thing, it looks a lot better than the recent Osama Video released by the Bush administration ;-)
