Apple iPhones in space, maybe travellers are next

Coffee break fodder. Plenty of debate around the authenticity of the following video – but, nevertheless, another PR coup for Apple.

Virgin Galactic might have made a few headlines recently with the opening of the first runway to service its “spacecraft” – but it’s a video on YouTube which has captured the imagination of the public at large.

If it’s real, fair play to the project’s creators. If it’s a fake, Apple probably still wins and it’s still a fascinating piece of footage.

But perhaps Steve Jobs is already thinking along the same lines as Richard Branson.

Anyone for iSpace?

    very cool! Probably for real, and not amazed at iPhone at all – it’s logical option with a GPS, GSM module and an platfrom to write a basic app to bring it all together.

    Good foam, hand warmer and the electronis will be fine – probably tougher than the camera they fitted. More credit to the guys that designed and built the casing and hats off to them for a cool project!

    That is the coolest thing I’ve seen in ages!

    Very cool experiment! Looks pretty real, and why fake it? Plus with a name like GeissbĂĽhler the guy must be Swiss-American, and they’re all honest people :)

    If its for real !! why if the a hand moving the burst ballon off the camera lense. Must be a fake.
