The SpyMac staff have finished verifying the authenticity of the iWalk video and have decided that the source of the footage is sufficiently unidentifiable. Thus, the video will be released to the public within the next 24-48 hours. In the mean time, we can tell you some of our observations of the iWalk. The color of the iWalk fits in perfectly with the rest of Apple's line: its glossy-white exterior is sleek and simple. And like the iPod, the PDA sports what appears to be a "jog-dial" at the bottom of the unit that can be used for easy navigation.
Apple fans should be happy to hear that the iWalk is not based on the Palm OS. The OS shown in the video looks like a blend between traditional PDA operating systems and Apple's OS X. Some other interesting observations:
The iWalk accepts handwriting input with a silver stylus. The user is able to write on the entire screen to input information, and is not limited to a small "text box" like of the Palm line of PDAs.
The iWalk is larger than PDAs currently on the market, with the majority of the extra size being given to screen real-estate.
All of the main ports are at the top of the unit.
We can clearly make out Firewire, audio-in and audio-out ports. In the center is a relatively large unmarked port which we speculate as being a port for Apple's new Gigawire.
One nice touch is a classy-looking leather carrying case, custom made for the iWalk, which the unit tightly slides into. This case seems to be the only protection available against screen and case scrathes.
Stay tuned for the video and various still shots.
