While reading Digg comments for the oFone, someone mentioned that the Microsoft iPod Packaging video was also created by Microsoft... I thought it was a fan-made video, personally, but here's the article from iPodObserver, and it reached around 3500 diggs on Digg, so I think it's safe to say that it's an accurate article.

The video in question, in case you haven't seen it:

I'm starting to like Microsoft a little more everyday. When people can make fun of themselves... They automatically rock.

Behold! Microsoft has decided to try their hand at designing a cell phone that will rival Apple's iPhone. Microsoft first made the announcement with this video that they presented at the Mobile and Embedded Developer Conference in Las Vegas on May 1st:

Although, before any Apple fanatics read this and blow a fuse at how Microsoft is "copying" Apple again, I need to mention that, according to the MSNBC article, Robbie Bach, president of Microsoft's Entertainment and Devices Division, assured everyone that the oFone is just a silly parody video they made and that there are absolutely no plans to release such a thing.

Still, it's funny reading all the comments by Apple fanatics on Engadget and Digg.

And, of course, with my increased usage of the phrase "Apple fanatic", I must say that I don't mean Apple users in general, but the Apple users who go out of their way to plug Macs and rip Windows at every possible moment because they're sad, bitter little boys. I know my fair share of Apple users who don't act like rabid fanatics.
