Good Bye iWalk (01/03/2002)
Update - 01/03/02: By legal request, we have removed all iWalk footage from our server. Sorry everyone, but we held out as long as we could.
We were asked by many readers why this latest iWalk does not look like the first one we presented. The answer is simple: The footage you just saw was real. The first one was not... although it's a bit more complicated than that. The first picture we presented was a mock-up based on information we were told. This information concentrated on the technical aspects of the device and provided little data regarding the visual attributes of the unit. The initial information and the video came from the same source.
Regarding those who found fault in the footage: you were looking too hard. Our source said he/she had a good laugh reading through the "evidence" suggesting that the video was doctored. As far we know, the video(s) was real.
So will we see this released on Monday? Judging from the video, it's hard to tell. The unit seems to still be in a testing phase - how else can one explain the large "wheel" at the bottom of the unit and the obtrusive port at the top? Indeed, it could be speculated that the "iWalk" exists in many different forms which are currently being evaluated (thus the reason why our source originally described the unit as looking completely different). Designs evolve over time.
Finally, regarding where the video was filmed: we don't know, but please consider the following:
Every step was taken to ensure that the source of the video could not be easily identified. German voices in the background and a seemingly deliberately-planted (foreign) electrical socket makes the origin questionable.. and the source safe.
