New Video iPod pic exposed as a fake

Posted Monday, February 27, 2006 at 1:30am in Blogging, Technology  | 

Many a tech expert was slightly hopeful that the picture of the (so called) new Video iPod flying around the blogosphere was the real deal. Normally when these mock-ups are released there’s usually one or two errors that soon get picked up. It seemed you can’t fool anyone in the blogosphere for too long. Even this alleged video of the new Google operating system is feeling the wrath of the blogosphere at the moment. It looks perfectly believable to my untrained eye!

But this latest photo took the scepticism out of even the most hardened of geeks - Endgadget being one of them. But as quick as you can spell F.A.K.E this video is released on YouTube and I have to say it’s pretty good. I don’t know a great deal about the guy who done it but I believe he’s from Holland.

I love the music! It’s got a spy-hype-James-Bond-conspiracy-Live-and-Let-Die type of feel to it.

This is a good example of how something like this could tie in with a PR campaign. Creating buzz, suspense and intrigue. Of course, you don’t want to do anything to annoy people, but I just love how it’s all been revealed in the end! Heh! Well done!
