Alright, now I don't really believe that this is ACTUALLY an iPhone in this video, but I figured it was worth mentioning.
The guys over at <a href="http://www.tuaw.com/2007/05/25/found-footage-possible-video-taken-by-iphone/" target="_blank">TUAW posted a video</a> that is said to have been captured by an iPhone. The video shows an alleged Apple Store employee capturing video with an iPhone and placing it in front of an iMac's iSight to show that the video is coming from what looks like an iPhone. At this point, the legitimacy of the video is highly in doubt, but I suppose it's possible. There certainly are people out there testing iPhones in the field. The question is weather or not one of Apple's secret testers would actually submit a video of themselves with the un-released device, especially when it means putting their job on the line.
Personally, I think it's fake. The video is just so crappy, but don't take my word for it. See for yourself:

What do you guys think? Is this thing totally fake or is it possible this is the real deal?
