"i-Day" seems like a good day to look back on the funny, thoughtful, informative, witty, blasphemous and weird iPhone videos that have graced YouTube since the January announcement. Oh, and don't miss the bonus video (which is not on YouTube) at the end.
1. This is Late Night with Conan O'Brien's iPhone commercial. You have no idea all the crazy things an iPhone can do. The iPhone sideburns are a personal favorite.
2. The iPhone we never got, but wish we had. I think an ad agency created this ad to try and win Apple's iPhone business. I love the flip-open, wrap-around iPod controls.
Videos 3-through-10 after the jump...
3. A fake Steve Jobs exaggerates on Saturday Night Live and says the player holds a billion songs.
4. MadTV treats its fake Jobs and the iPhone like latter-day Beatles. It even gives the phone voice recognition that the real product doesn't have and the ability to make Jobs disappear. Ooh, I like that.
5. The official Apple iPhone commercial that started it all.
6. The first early look at the iPhone during Macworld. I notice that Apple's Phil Schiller has surprisingly small fingertips. Maybe that's why he thinks the iPhone is so easy to dial-with and type on.
7. iPhone mania is so pervasive that everyone feels the need to compare themselves to it. Here, Opera Software pits Opera Mini, its Web browser for smart phones, against the iPhone in yet another "I'm a Mac and I'm a PC" parody.
8. Henry Winkler joins Craig Ferguson on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson to talk about the iPhone. Ferguson, "Is it as great as they say it is?" Winkler answers, "I have a beautiful wife, amazing children, I've got my health; I would sell it all for that iPhone."
9. A little bit of iPhone blasphemy to cleanse your palette.
10. Microsoft's ZunePhone. 'Nuf said.
Bonus Disturbing Video: A lunatic mugger tries to take Newsweek Steven Levy's iPhone while he's on air with Fox News. All I can say is Sheesh!
Update: Futher video analysis has revealed that the nutball stole the reporter's microphone and left the iPhone untouched. Now we know that he was not only a thief, but an idiot, too.
