I don't know what the video was, but considering that Office Space had a Mac shut down to a C:> prompt, I can tell you that they can make devices do anything in movies and TV. Remember when Jeff Goldblum infected an alien ship with viruses from a little iBook? Yah, I don't think "iVirus for Aliens" came with Mac OS back then.

Yes but why got through such trouble to fake it? With no good reason, imagine what a pain it would be to fake that.
Was it just a glance of a horizontal SMS screen or was it central to the scene (maybe they had to make it landscape because the viewer reading the text was mportant?)
The point of it was to show the character texting. At first all u hear is the clicking of the keys then they show it for a couple of seconds. It is was an iphone with a silicon cover and a horizontal keyboard. The weird part was that the keyboard took up about 85% of the screen. If it was real, it seems to be very awkward to type on it since you could only see prob about 1 or 2 lines. I agree, it wasn't necessary at all to fake it. maybe it was the "new" iphone, im not sure, I just wish I had some screen caps. I'll work on downloading the video.
on the last episode of csi miami the iphone the showed was doing all kinds of crazy stuff that had nothing to do with what it usually looks like
I guess it does look legit, but then again in the movie Transformers sheiagh lebauff or whatever his name is was playing xbox 360 and things popped up that were made specifically for the movie and did not really look authentic anyways.
This picture however, does look authentic, but my money is on the fact that the show editors did something to make the phone look like that.

Yeah even though it is a movie with tons and tons of effects there was a tv show too that did something that xbox 360s don't do.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Some weird chatroom they were going to.
And don't forget Disney's widely used "Pear Computers"
Combination between a Mac and a PC =P. With the "Apple" logo as a pear.
it does look very legit. Maybe the producers hired a jailbreak developer =P. Or maybe they hired someone with access to the SDK and 2.0 and quickly coded something.

Excuse me but the people that say it's safari either have never seen the iPhone in their life, or are just ignorant.
I FORGOT SAFARI HAD A BLUE SEND BUTTON
To confirm i'm correct, there is no refresh button or magnifying class at the top. From the looks of it it is also a full name in the middle.

I had not looked that closely before. You are right, this does look very much like SMS. Well we'll see, but I still wouldn't get your hopes up.
Don't get too excited. This is a prop for a TV show/movie and is most likely nonfunctional. The image is probably a screenshot loaded into the photos app on the iphone... if it even IS an iphone. Since it is so heavily disguised by the rubber case, I wouldn't be surprised if it was a touch masquerading as an iphone.
If any TV show were to unveil a new product before it was available to the public, it would not be hidden like this. The manufacturer would want everyone to know it was new so they would want to buy it. In the Transformers movie, for example, the 2009 camaro got a lot of screen time.

I don't know any safarri AIM app that looks like that, but i could be wrong. I'm not on either side of this debate, just finding fault with everyone!!
To all the people that think it is safari..what is wrong with you seriously? Since when does Safari have a blue send button
and if you look on the bottom left of the screen it seems like there's an extra button between the ".?123" button and the "space" button
edit: nevermind it's just the "." button.

It doesn't look to be in Safari as the top part is definitely not from Safari, but the keyboard seems to be taken directly from Safari's landscape keyboard when entering a URL. Especially since the bottom part has three buttons and a blue button which in safari is the "Go" button. But I have an iPod touch, so I don't know for sure.
