Video of iPhone/iPod OS running on Mac Pro with touch screen monitor
The bright sparks over at Dreamfield (Swedish post-production powerhouse) have figured out how to get the iPhone/iPod OS running on a Mac Pro with a touch screen monitor. Check out the brief vid below!

bluedragon1971, if you download the iPhone SDK, what you get is an iPhone simulator. which if you’ve tried doesn’t even emulate every aspect of the iphone OS. and can’t run real apps
for test purposes it compiles apps in xcode for x86 architecture. when you’re done xcode compiles a final version for the ARM architecture which the iphone’s hardware is based on. other smart phones for that fact.
in order to run the iphone’s OS on your pc which is x86 you would either have to have the source code of the iphone os (which would be harder than getting steve jobs to use a zune or wm device) and compile it for x86 which in the end wont run apps from anywhere unless from you.
OR
you could try to emulate the whole process kinda like a virtual machine, where you would need an emulator for the ARM architecture. which would work just like a virtual machine with all its merits.
the video is just a pretty good fake. where the guy uses the boot camp boot menu, a video cable and a friend with a real ipod/iphone standing in the back. and a lot of video editing which they do for a living.
and some naive people to go along with…
Boot camp is a virtualization software, remember i said kind of – thats because boot camp doest emulate any other Architecture just x86. thus it virtualizes the windows os or linux or whatever.
emulation however requires processor translation.
and the iphone OS doesn’t boot from a Hard disk, it boots from a RAM disk which is in the iphones solid state memory.
face it man, it was a lot of video editing and and real ipod/iphone connected to a touch screen monitor.
i personally enjoyed the part where he tilts the monitor and has his friend do the same with the phone.
- Resolution is too high- Dell monitor has no touch screen options available, let alone multitouch- There's no input cable going to the monitor (would be on the center of the left side, when vertical. There are only two [what appear to be] USB cables)- Browsing is way too fast- Guy's timing does not line up perfectly, and also his pinch & scale movement was wrong (relative vs. absolute positioning)
“We created quite a buzz in the blogosphere with the movie on Youtube showing a Mac Pro running iPhone/iPod OS on a 24 inch multi-touch screen. Of course most people were convinced that it was fake, a spoof. And of course they where right.”
it’s still cool to see it, though — that’s undeniable, haha!
hey heres the response for this! IS FAKE!!!!

Stupid joke, it’s just “movie + actor”. 3-)

Haha. Kind of obvious:
1. Anyone care to find me a (commercial) multi-touch screen out there? Even at that, one that looks like that?
2. Wrong architecture as people have pointed out.
accelerometer in the monitor? lol. fake.
@stroke I think its settled then,

lol… everyone failed.
Reasons why this is fake:
- Resolution is too high- Dell monitor has no touch screen options available, let alone multitouch- There's no input cable going to the monitor (would be on the center of the left side, when vertical.

has no one done their homework? these people ADMIT it’s a spoof!
