iEureka!
By TRexx


In its report about this new movie poster, E! Online includes a quote from Abrams that sheds some light on what he means by saying there's a TOS "kitsch" that ST:XI won't hold on to...

"We all have the iPhone, which does more than the [Star Trek] communicator," Abrams said. "There's a kind of kitschy quality that must go, if it's going to be something you believe is real. Our Star Trek is not parody."

Aha, the gadgets will better represent what we now know can be done with microcircuits. Gotcha, JJ.

Abrams is an Apple fanatic, but his specific mention of the iPhone does tie into a rumor from several months back: "Rumor Mill : Star Trek Movie Using iPhone As Starfleet Communicator ?"
