Finally, the one thing you can do with the iPhone.
You mean apart from not buying it right?
You should be thanking the iPhone because it's given you an outlet to seizure your fingers across the keyboard in an attempt (albeit a poor one) to be witty.
He wears a lab coat but he's so stupid, blended the new one instead of the old one. He, he.
It's the best thing you can do with an iPhone !!! :)
You know what!? I'm really getting sick of this guy - he wants to destroy any cool gadget that comes out.
You know what I think I hate more then Apple fanboys? Anit Apple people. I mean if I have to see one more "This blog is full of Apple Fanboys" or "Just because they did *Some idea* doesn't mean they copied Apple!" or "I can get a 10x better *MP3 player, Phone, laptop, ect* for 2 times cheaper!" I will lock them in an iCell and throw away the key! Oh wait, the iCell was just a ripoff. ;-)
It's the only thing that a WinMo phone can do as good as an iPhone.
I'm sure the guy is plenty smart, no need to be mean about it. But this bit is just SO played out! Enough with the blending. I lump this guy in with those douchebags who were taping themselves smashing 360s and stuff.
Don't you mean "as well as an iphone". I thought you Apple users were supposed to be smart.
Don't hate apple Hate the game!
@ Fred
Those kids weren't making millions of dollars on what ever the hell they used to destroy the xboxes.
Heck, the iPhone 3G is so good, it even blends better than a crappy WinMo handset. The iPhone is totally green, baby.
The second grinding's leftover looked like a fine bowl of cereal. A little sugar, milk and fruit and they could have at least enjoyed some breakfast.
It's good to see that the weak economy hasn't hurt caucasians yet. Whites still got plenty of money to throw away.
it never gets old
I love the Will It Blend series.. lol
Tom Dickson is the man!
Yes! I love this show.
Finally a good iphone post!
Agreed
iphone smoke, 3G that Jobs !
Engadget - must you perpetuate this overused internet meme?
Yeah seriously iPhone is so old.
Photoshopped.
Loved how the girl actually recognized the blender guy.
duh
Love how the girl would catch some D
Not so "invincible" now are you!
Will it ever end?
I really don't like "will it blend".
Completely fake, once it zoomed in on the finger on the button the video went blurry and jumped, when it zoomed back out the bag wasnt in the same position it was with the handle showing.
What a load of ballcocks.
For sure a fake. Just look at the handle of the bag. Its in a completely different position.
yeah totally fake. just look at the bag (eco, eco, eco, eco..)
Good!! I'm not the only person who noticed that.
Anyway, who, in their right mind would take one of these and blend it? I'd rather put it on eBay.
Exactly! FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE! The blond should have to "take it DRY for trying to perpetrate such an obvious FRAUD!!!
that's the only real reason they would put it in a bag.... duh.
while the blend was fake, her hand motion had the look of a real pro. I think the motor was on vibrate... extreme.
So is this the worlds first destroyed iPhone 3G or did some crazy guy buy one and smash it to pieces outside the store in front of the queue?
One day, when I have too much money, I would like to be that man.
this would be cool to show all those people standing in line for their new iPhone 3G to watch on their obsolete iPhone 1.0 before they abandon them to the dustbin because those old iPhone don't work the RDF anymore. The ensuing riot of pissed people watching "their" place in line completely wasted would be great!!! perhaps a "Dark Knight" tie-in to the Joker!
That was fake!!! You could tell because the 3G smoke
is way too slow. 3G smoke travels at 1.5 nostrils a second, unlike
that ancient Edge fart you call smoke.
its a fake, they pull a switcheroo when they zoom in on the blender button~ lame
Agreed!!!!! That second video is lame!!!!!!!!!
Agreed!!!!! That second video is lame!!!!!!!!!
the second video is fake...
Yes, the hot Belch chick is really Tom Dickman in disguise.
fake fake fake...
NO iPhone smoke in the crappy lame Belgian edition - they should have blended some chips with mayonnaise instead!
What is wrong with chips and mayonnaise???
ArcticFox is right, its totally fake. Putting in the bag was a dumb idea in the first place, but you're right, it totally jumps. The finger moves, the bag is completely wrong. Engadget, try again
there is such a cut before the start its clear its a fake ass thing
So nice in slow motion ! ;-)
Are the real, "Will it Blend?" videos real? If so - that's a mighty fine waste of technology they've got going on there!
yes they are, unlike this cheap and fake one (lucky her she has boobs, otherwise it would be bashfest here)
Yes, they're real - it's to show off Blendtec's blenders. You could puree Wolverine with one of those things.
The real ones are real.
This one is fake : just before the blending, when they zoom on her finger, it teleports on the button by a cm !!
I call shenanigans !
Just remember - no matter how pretty you think that girl is, someone, somewhere is sick of her shit.
Do people LOVE to leave comments on news that they are totally not interested in? I think it's worst than the article itself.
Instead of the lethal injections, death row inmates should just drink smoothies made by that blender guy! Much cheaper me thinks!
the belgian one kinda looks like an iphone burger.....when it blends
*cringe* that hurts to watch...
It does, but he did pay for it...so...
I want to blend him or one of his blenders. I am not sure why they blend it... I assume they may get donations from people so that they can afford it and maybe even make some cash...
I would blend her. das goood! yah!
haha!
I hope he enjoys paying a minimum of like $70 a month for a phone he can't use anymore.
He probably paid more to get one without the contract. Simple.
Agreed! Totally fake! Why would they put the iPhone in a bag before they blended it? Why not just drop it in like the will it blend guy? Plus you can totally tell that the handle on the bag is positioned differently.
It's so fake.
i love how fake the belgian one is...:D
Black smoke? Thats creepy.
I hear it blends 3 times faster now.
iSmoke! ;)
I love stupid people that waste money trying to be clever.
Hey, could you guys blend some more of these please. Buy more apple stuff and blend it. Makes my stock go up.
Thanks.
When you're selling blenders to people for $400 a pop, you can afford to destroy as many iphones as you want.
I want this blender. When I have a wedding registry this will be the first thing on it.
Oh the HUMANITY!
Apparently, it WON'T blend.... at least in Belgium.
And, seriously guys, we all know that you're actually very happy the Engadget staff posts so much about Apple/iPhone, otherwise, how would you express your boring, redundant, waste-of-everyone's-time comments?
You might actually have to... work, at work(!)... or something.
I like how it took the guy 10 seconds to blend it, but the woman took 2 minutes+ LOL
Christ, they can't even do that right.
You've come a long way baby!!LULZ
The bag kept it from getting down to the bottom where the blades are.
You guys who think the Belgian video is a fake must be a bunch of Apple fanboys who are inanely jealous that you couldn't make a Blend-O-Matic video of your iPhone yesterday because you couldn't get into the store to buy one.
Former Sen. Phill Gramm is right, you are a bunch of whiners.
@ rick
I think it's fake because people aren't stupid enough to blend a $200 electronic device without a marketing budget and product to sell to cover it. There's no reason to put it in a bag, and have a cut where they did unless they were trying to fake it, and there's an severe lack of metal and glass in the final shredded "iPhone".
Where is Gallagher and the Sledge-O-Matic when you need them?
Engadget. Seriously?
I sure as hell hope it can blend.
YES!!!! That was awesome!!! Thank you Engadget!
that one chick in the beginning was fine as hell....
if you're into 15 year olds with fake tans....
The first one I couldn't bring myself to watch.
Tom Dickinson should blend himself someday. I hate him and blendtec
My first reaction: OH NO!
Then I realized that it was gratifying to watch since I'm trapped in my Telus contract and can't lay my hands on that beauty until 2010. Or pay $700 in early termination fees.
I love Canada.
Telus Contract? Get a Kodoo. Much better service from the same network. Boo yah.
I wish someone would blend this guy's hands. I have only eve watched one of his vids about year ago never again, such a waste. This prick should think about the environmental effects of his actions and the e-waste crisis.
haha... he's far less environmentally damaging than building the thing in the first place. Or the millions of morons who will throw away perfectly good phones so they can buy new ones.
This was a little amusing the first time 'round. This is not really any *more* amusing with the new model. BFD.
What if it didn't blend though. Madness.
i was trying to watch this on my new i phone but thee video won't load...
I knew it all along!!!
Belgian guys did the right thing (Sjiek gedaan mannen, alhoewel ik het uit andere redenen zou doen)
Fuck that overpriced iphone!
, the phone costs about 500+ euros here (belgium), and some say its because we dont have a contract with our phones (its forbidden here to screw over your costumers, yeah i said FUCK CONTRACTS) but no production costs etc. are way lower than the actual cost of the iphone here.
Someone (Apple or the Belgian phonecompany Mobistar)
is making a big profit on this (and i dont have to tell you that person is a B.F. A**HOLE)
Anyway, i wonder what kinda cancer that residue will give you, looks very poisonous.
What do you think?!?! HE BLENDED THE WHOLE FRIGGIN BATTERY!
this morning i saw that a guy I know has a iPhone 3G so I asked how long he lined up for it. He said he works at the MAC1 store and he knew they had some unsold (mustn't be so much demand here) so he figured he might as well buy one. (though the phone part doesn't work yet, thanks to Vodaphone...)
Oh, and... does it run Crysis?
I think they've put a mix of coffee and plastic in that bag in the second movie to make it look like the black powder of a real blended iPhone. But the fact that they put it in a bag, the lousy editing and the changing position of the bag are the largest giveaways that it's fake.
This would be funny if this guy showed up at a Macworld event and did it there.
