Texting in Landscape mode?

Posted in News by Omar C. Published April 25th, 2008

I found this image on an iPhone forum, it’s from an episode of Law & Order: SVU (an awesome show). It shows a man text messaging on his iPhone, but obviously his iPhone is turned on its side which of course is not possible on any current iPhones. You are able to type in landscape mode when you’re in safari, but if you click on this image and see the enlarged version, you’ll see that there is no Google Search Bar and that there appears to be a name in the Top Center (just like when you text someone). I’m not going to put too much into this, but I thought it was worth posting. They are probably just using an instant messanger app on a jailbroken iPhone that allows you to type in landscape mode. They’ve shown iPhones on CSI taking video before so I wouldn’t get too excited about this image. It makes me wonder why the props people on this TV show would even go out of their way to fake/display this feature on the iPhone in the first place? They probably wanted to see how many fanatical iPhone blogs would go crazy and publish posts about it…oh wait

This is pretty interesting. And note the keyboard is different. The space bar is split into two. Also, I’m not sure if it is the reflection or not but it seems like there is a keyboard on top of the original apple one.
