Ooh, I forgot it was april fools day! ;D I love to play pranks. ;)

Hm, it seems like it's fake to me. Towards the end, notice the names of some of the guys being interviewed, the guy that is "bald by choice."  :hmm: Mixed old-style and new-style klickys, the school building, some of the things they say are very sarcastic. However, it's veeeery well done! Beautiful! I love the i-phones.  :love:

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

It's a great ad.

We know it must be an April Fools joke though, Playmobil doesn't do licensed products

I really like this custom I store using Apple as a launch pad! I hope Playmobil actually is in the planning phase to produce this awesome mall kiosk! If Apple would share this as a consolidated platform with Playmobil, who knows what could come next from the design pipeline! ;D
  Forget about all of the other stuff,....all we need is the reintroduction of the 3526 Fire Engine!

It's a great video (one of the presenters even looks a bit like me when I was younger!) and very well done. 

I noticed there was one of those Segways being used.

It's certainly a good advert both for Apple and Playmobil, although how Geobra will take it is maybe open to debate.

yeah I've notice the segway too, but is it a custom?? or that set is already out in germany?
