I looked quite some time at both, the pics and the movies and now Iīll try to explain, why this is for real:
1.) On pic "iWalk_Still02.jpg" one can see the reflections casted by the environment and hey, look at the reflection of the thumb. You cant fake this - not even by using AW software like Maya or StudioFX.
2.) The other pix show a Powerbook power adaptor. The reflections of the light are drawn correct.
E.g. in pic "iWalk_Still08.jpg" You can see the TiBook, iWalk and the cover. The shadows and hilites are oriented as they should (not just like this 3d-graphics unnatural style).
3.) On pix that show screen-close-upīs you may find fine irregulaties and that comes because of certain production processes (moulding, stamping, ...). This canīt be faked that easy. Yust look at shadows and hilites at the grey frame around the lcd.
4.) A while ago (iPod intro), we could read articles, that the iTunes- & QuickTime-Dev-Teams worked strongly together to bring the new device (in this case the iPod) to life.
But this was a fake. Apple bought OS tech from Pixo Inc. to drive the iPod.
Just take a closer look at the screenshots. This is the real product of both teams. Looks like iTunes- and looks just like QuickTime-GUI. This is what they really did the last months...
Some notes:
Maybe this footage shows us some sort of prototype device - but - why should one brand a prototype (FCC-Regs, logo, claim ect.)?
What about the logo, signing the mysterious port in the middle? It looks like this --O-- (FireWire loks like this Y).
This is a serial port, I guessED.
NO, look! This could be an IrDA port (anyone remember the last MacOS X update? "New port detected" thing - TiBook only) .
Then there where people, guessing the shots where made in Germany. Wrong! See the power plug on "iWalk_Still01.jpg". Never seen any plug of that type here (Austria/Germany), because we have use SCHUKO-plugs (with earth) in our offices. So this material was not taken in Germany.
Got it? Thats it!
