This video of iPhone OS 2.x running on a 24-inch multitouch monitor from Swedish design firm Dreamfield is almost certainly fake, but hey -- it's Sunday night, nothing's going on, and we were thinking about how well touch-specific systems would work on a larger screen after seeing
those CrunchPad videos anyway, so we thought we'd get some conversation going. We'd be willing to bet that a future Apple tablet has more in common with the experience shown in this video than with what we currently think of as OS X, but we're not so certain we're seeing anything here that makes us want to throw our mouse or keyboard away -- or spend the entire day with
gorilla arm. So -- artfully mocked-up glimpse of the future, or just a pipe dream?
Keeping with the likely-fake theme, there's also a probably-fake video of SNES and PS1 emulators running on the Pre, controlled by a Bluetooth gamepad. Yes, it's incredibly awesome -- and undoubtedly
possible -- but until we see some evidence of how things are loaded up and connected with the gamepad we're sticking it in the fake category as well.

This is pathetic!! You can see him randomly hitting buttons on his controller like he's playing and its just at the loading screen. I would have believed it more if he picked up the Pre while one of the games was running to see if there was glare on the screen when the light hit it!
that pre video is sooo faked you can tell, if you watch when the character on the nes game jumps hes not even pressing the jump button and he sort of realises he should be pressing it so starts to press jump after its aready jumped
also he didnt show the tekken game (ps1) working all was shown was a video clip that he had put on the pre to make it look like it was really working
ive no idea why people put fake vids up i really dont
