iPhone Spotted in ITV’s The Bill – [Briefly]

Nov 12, 2008 No Comments by Arron

I’m not even entirely sure if this is newsworthy or not, but recently I’ve seen the iPhone and iPod touch featured a lot of adverts, and it was quite interesting tonight to see a fairly major ITV (www.itv.com) drama blatantly advertise the iPhone. Hit the jump for shots.

Watching The Bill on ITV about 20 minutes ago, and it only flashed up for a second, but as you can see from the screen shots, it was unmistakably the iPhone Classic:

The iPod touch in a UK car advert, iPhone in The Bill, Where will they appear next?

What’s even more interesting is the guy seems to be controlling a surveillance system with it, wirelessly. A few weeks ago, the application iRa [App Store] was spotlighted as being ‘The most expensive iPhone app on the store to date’.

Screenshot:

The application retails for £499.99 sterling ($899 USD), and allows the user to:

  • Easily view many video feeds simultaneously
  • View full screen video
  • PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom) control for camera motion
  • Use familiar finger drag and pinch controls
  • Group cameras for quick access
  • Automatic discovery of properly configured network cameras

Could this have been what we just saw in action? An up-coming unreleased application maybe? Or complete fiction?

The most expensive application before iRa was ‘I am Rich‘ by Armin Heinrich which retailed for $999.99 and after 8 sales, was pulled from the store.

One question, Where are the iPhone 3G’s?!

Apple, iPhone
