iHate the iPrefix more than the ePrefix.
That the branding is so successful indicates that there are too many narcissistic people with vastly more discretional income than taste than I do. Yes, it's an envy/jealousy thing. These people have money and no style and seek to procure it, and by dint of marketing, achieve some minimal leval of style by dint of recursiveness.
I have no money. Whether or not I have style or not is not the point.
Apple could potentially shoot themselves in the foot if an actual competitor* could find some way of making fun of the iPhenomenon.
*which there are currently... none

There is no "woo-hoo!"
At that point the guy who made the app engages you into a discussion about how that app, although a simulation, is really a game-changer in terms of phone software and the simulated experience is the new reality and don't you get how great it is when people no longer need a corporeal existence when perhaps your product is what people will judge you by and I bring for example the time I played "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" and thy were all hootin' and hollerin' and, dammit, you know--I mean really know you're better than that and perhaps it's time to write that song about the NEW civil war and msh it up with that great idea about that stage production of Yacht Rock provided you get the right guy to play Jeff "Skunk" Baxter and I only bring this up with you, cause you play in a lot of bands and you know how a project should go and I swear this is really the greatest idea ever and we really could make this happen and seriously ther is so much genious in this project and back to the app; there are many ways to simulate how things are--can I get a beer--without getting into--she was looking at me, right?
Hey, it was fun listening to you, but I have to go talk to her, yeah she seems chatty but also seems alone so she sureky was watching the show and it seemed she was into me while I was on stage and she's pretty cold now, but it's likely she doesn't know how to deal with others and, dammit, she's always hot for shinier peacocks despite the fsct she has no clue...

Oh...and from the article linked above:
"This suggests that drug-addicted individuals may not be fully aware of their own choice behavior or that drug choice in addicted individuals may not be fully driven by the pleasure or reward they get from the drug, as is frequently assumed."
No shit, Sherlock.

They'd sell a million apps if they changed it so you can stick your nose into a pile and come up with coke on the end like Tony Montana.

Wait, I have a technical question. The iPhone has a capacitative touchscreen. How does tapping it with a credit card and brushing it with a rolled-up dollar work?

This app would have been the perfect use of iPhone 3.0's upcoming micropayment system, which allows developers to charge users within their apps for new content. So the app and the first hit, as they say, would be free, but...

I'm releasing a hacked version called iCutItWithBorax.
Actually, it would be kind of neat if after you snorted the coke, a little medical bag icon appeared, which you could spread open with your fingers and from which you could draw a hypodermic needle. Then the needle would fill the screen and you'd have to stab the iPhone into your chest in a simulation of attempted resuscitation of an OD'ed patient.

It doesn't. Maybe they faked it. Has anyone actually downloaded the app?

I'm going to guess they do it by sound, since they're not touching the screen directly with skin. I'm not as sure about the cutting, but definitely the snorting, that's detected via the mic. That's why he's so theatrical about it.

The tapping must just place the lines in the same location on the screen.
As for the snorting, I would guess that the line disappears based on sound, and does so at a fixed rate.
With a little practice, he made a smooth video that appears to be dynamic, although it isn't. Just my 2 cents

Can the iPhone sense vibration? Maybe that's how the tapping worked, though I don't know about the cutting. Could just be a random placement on those.

The iphone has accelerometers so it knows when it's being tapped. The snorting action I'm not so clear on. It might just be video and the demo is well timed to his actions.
