Is This The World's Largest iPhone?

If King David's ancient foe, Goliath, were still alive and he was looking for an iPhone that would fit his style, well, as you can see above, YouTuber, drmfld might just have what he was looking for - the world's largest working iPhone!

And when I say large, I mean large as in super, duper large, or rather as in this case - a 24-inch monitor converted into one! This isn't your father's iPod no siree, nor is it one that anyone is going to conceal in their pockets anytime soon, unless, of course, you just happen to be Goliath.

Since, as the iPodObserver points out, this video comes from a production company that is more than capable of producing fake videos, well, it's probably just that - a fake. However, what an interesting fake it is, if indeed that is the case. Apart from Goliath, his friends or family, I really can't see much need for this overblown sized iPhone, but I have to admit that it does look rather cool, don't you think?

Certainly, if you had one, it would be really fun and interesting to watch the reactions on people's faces as you walked down the street holding one next to your ear - provided, of course, if you could even managed to pick it up and hold it!

The iPodObserver states:

"The Swedish video production company DRMFLD has apparently been working to push the iPhone OS envelope by hacking the operating system to install and run on a MacPro, complete with functioning touchscreen interface."

Sounds interesting, but I have always wondered why Apple, or anyone else, couldn't actually incorporate an iPhone or other mobile phone within a laptop or tablet. It would be interesting to be able to make direct calls via your laptop, and especially combined with all of the other additional functionality that a smartphone offers. Could this be what Apple is contemplating for it's much rumored media device? I don't know, but I kind of hope so. I would love to see a laptop or tablet with a built-in phone, especially an iPhone.

So, could this really be the world's largest working iPhone? Well, if it's not a fake, then most likely it is. Fake or not, all I know is that it certainly looks really cool, if not a little bit on the impractical side.

And that's my 2 cents 4 this Monday, the 15 th. of June, 2009
