Rumor Mill : Star Trek Movie Using iPhone As Starfleet Communicator ?

Features

By GustavoLeao / 08:01, 21 March 2008 / Star Trek: Nemesis

According to sources from the iPhone Savior website working close to the production, a slickly modified version of iPhone is being used as the new communicator in the upcoming Star Trek movie prequel.

According to the site, video chat was mentioned along with a lifeform detector and hints that the device may also be able to transport crew members.

iPhone Savior website is making efforts to confirm communications supposedly coming from on location in Iceland. It makes sense that Apple's wildly popular iPhone which is clearly a quantum leap beyond other smartphones would be the favored device for Star Trek.

This information is preliminary, of course, and entirely rumor.
 
The original report can be found here.

UPDATE : TrekMovie.com has checked with multiple sources and has confirmed this is rumor is entirely untrue.

TrekMovie.com has been told that there is actually not any location shooting going on in Iceland. Although there was scouting done in Iceland, plans were eventually changed.

There should be!

Also, the Pepsi logo should be prominently featured behind the captain's head whenever he's talking to anybody on the viewscreen.
