Oh Internets, your gullibility knows no bounds. The demo of "Windows Mobile on an iPhone" that folks are blogging about today is an obvious hoax, part of a viral marketing campaign from Sonic Emotion, a maker of surround-sound systems for PCs, handhelds, and other things that need surround sound.
The demo supposedly took place at a "myPhone2008" conference in Las Vegas from Sept. 26-28. But according to Nancy Lee at the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Association, there was no such show. Events in Las Vegas during that period included the Pirrello/Sprung wedding, the ST/Dystonia Symposium, the Itazuke Alumni Reuinion, the Current Practice of Vascular Ultrasound and the Wealth Dynamics Experience. No "myPhone2008." Sorry.
Also, none of the various people mentioned on the site, except the Sonic Emotion folks, seem to exist. "Serling Technologies" has no Web site, and their fake product, "Twilight Scan," is a pun on the fact that Rod Serling was the host of "The Twilight Zone." "Markus Miller," supposedly a sales manager for this nonexistent convention, is a popular German soccer goalkeeper.
So, sorry, folks. No Windows Mobile on the iPhone.

Yeah i have to admit, they got me. But it would be exiting for such a product to exist.
*Also I went to the website and saw the video on the wavearsLE. The video of people using the product is ridiculous

Who would want that crazy buggy OS that is Windows Mobile in an iPhone, anyway?
Not that I like the iPhone either way, but Windows Mobile would probably make it even more unattractive to me.

WM on iPhone would make this phone useful.
