Could it be???

uhhhhh . . . . WHAT?

[Sith_Apprentice]

Its running in a web browser. Look at the "reading mode" icon at the top and the wording.

Even though it's just in the web browser, it's pretty sweet! Would like to try it out!

[Sith_Apprentice]

the site title is Nokia something (cant make out the second word) and he is running in private browsing lol

I caught this as well.

If he really wanted to fool people, he should have made it into a webworks application and side-loaded it into his device. It would have had its own icon and none of the browser features lol

I can see "Nokia Netherlands" in the browser title. Anyone know is there any link to that emulator, I would like to try too haha.

There are emulators available for iPhone and Android, it rejects the Playbook browser based on user agent (also tried in simplebrowser and it failed for some reason).

Works in Dolphin Browser... I can't zoom on the page though, so still not sure how this guy got it fill his screen... plus he's definitely in the PB native browser.

I tried that but it doesn't look the same with the one in that video. The microsoft one is very simple, while the one in the video is more customizable like a real device. Also from nokia.

[Sith_Apprentice]

Yes you are correct, I am guessing its a web based Lumia (insert model here) emulator. However I cant find it on Nokia US, and cannot read Dutch. There is also a demo on Facebook under Nokias page for the Lumias, but it doesnt appear to be it either.

This is fake. Look at 57 seconds. The 'e' is pressed before he actually touches 'e'

[bounce007]

...and throughout the video there are some buttons giving the 'tapped' effect before he actually taps the buttons.

[marcelnijman]

He didn't fool me. He's just playing a video and tapping on the screen. His timing is sometimes a bit off, though.

Exactly!!!

[feldmen01]

The 'back button (three dots in bottom right) he's pushing to go back to main menu. isn't a back button at all... In Windows phone, an in-app menu pops up when this is pushed.

Explanation:

People saying it's a video and buttons are pushed before he touches them are partly right. It's just a web app "emulator" of WP7, found on the Nokia Lumia Facebook page, but it seems to play a video when you tap any of the icons.

Interesting Sifjar, the one I saw on Facebook did not look the same. Thank you for the explanation. Didnt the video creator say he was going to release an app? would this just be a repackaged flash app lol

[smoothrunnings]

To tell you the truth it would be cool if it were real! If it's real it could be a insider video from RIM of wacky things they are doing with the PB.

I told guys at work that in China there are a lot of knock off devices that people are making in the basements of their homes. Its possible that some could use the same body and screen type from the PB and have a completely different CPU inside that would allow Windows 8 to run on the device.

I remember seeing devices in Colombia South America that were knock off blackberry and of course iphones. The Blackberry devices were running OS 5 at the time, but upon closer inspection you could tell it was manufactured in someone's basement in China.

The creator of the video made the explanation video and added the URL as a comment in the original video, so this is definitely what he was using. Didn't know he said about releasing an app, but yes I would assume that is what it will be/would have been.

[Sith_Apprentice]

Seems like a bit of back pedaling on his part IMO because of the video title etc. But it is an interesting concept (would need another emulator like the android one)

[pacoman03]

It's a Nokia Facebook demo. He "reveals it here-

[Cozz4ever]

Doesn't WM7 have predictive text? It suggests which letter is next and highlights it.
