Hey folks. Having lost my job because of our bad economy, I've found myself with too much free time. My free time has given birth to a creation that should never have existed - The Virtual iPhone. I invite you all to follow the below link to gaze in wonder at one of the worlds greatest wastes of time and ask "why?". Because my javascript is abit crude, I only wrote with consideration towards Internet Explorer's loose non-standards standards. If you are currently using FF or Chrome or Safari or whatever, please copy the link into your IE or it won't. I ask that you take your time to enjoy my creation. Double tap the home button from the lockscreen to see the iPod controls appear. Adjust the volume. Slide the "slide to unlock" slider only partially and then marvel as it slides back. I know you will appreciate my springboard icon "spring" animation as well as my app launching animation. Flick the springboard icons from page 1 to page 2 and then back again. Hit the Safari icon. Touch the Address or Search field and watch the familiar top bar adjustment animation flow. Open up PapiJump and play a quick game. Currently Safari and Papi are the only working apps and, as you'll see, my PapiJump blows. But I think any diehard iPhone fans will appreciate the subtle measures I took to simulate the iPhone experience. Give it a few seconds to load as it is a graphically robust beast. Thank you and please let me know what you think. Feel free to use words like "artist", "genius", "lifechanging" or "religious experience". If you like it, please tell a friend.

Dude that's pretty neat. It would really kick some ass if you could make the programs work, for example if you could make pac-man work.

I like it.

Thanks, budsalinger. Safari and PapiJump work. You can use the arrow keys on your actual keyboard to control that game. I might be able to get pac-man to work but it would probably take me at least a month and it still wouldn't be too impressive. Plus, you don't really want to play pac-man on my fake iPhone! Thanks again for checking it out and commenting.

Thant's really cool!

Yep. They do and sometimes you'll see demos of upcoming app releases that are output from that system where you just see a white circle moving around as the finger. My Virtual iPhone is very different and completely useless for any practical purposes. It was just for fun.

yea i kno urs is just as simple as it gets lol

so there is a real use virtual iphone program in the SDK????

Ok, I'm not a developer so I don't really know but I know you can of course build your own app and virtually run that on your Mac. Also, right now, as usual people have posted screen shots of the upcoming 3.0 firmware. I assume that devs are either getting those from a virtualized iphone or more than likely they get beta copies of the firmware and are just screenshoting on the device itself. But I don't know.

yea i looked it up. the SDK comes with a simulator.... i just gotta reinstall leopard and download the nearly 2gb thing lol
