    And look, he's already got 300k hits and people talking. All they need are his movies in the back of their minds and he's doing better than he was.

    I don't really think it's a time traveler but what the hell is she doing?

    I mean you can't say it's not strange at least.

    Agreed not a time traveler... but also that is interesting that she is yapping like that on what looks like a phone.

    @lamass... if it was a time traveler I would image they would have communication devices sophisticated enough to operate independently of the current time they were in. Since they figured out that whole time travel thing, talking on your iphone would probably be cake

    Seems to have cleared that up here... http://www.flickr.com/photos/23909185@N06/5108888518/

    food for thought:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_mobile_phones

    Pioneers of radio telephony
    The early years of the 20th century saw the first attempts at wireless and mobile telephony. In 1908, U.S. Patent 887,357 for a wireless telephone was issued to Nathan B. Stubblefield of Murray, Kentucky. He applied this patent to "cave radio" telephones and not directly to cellular telephony as the term is currently understood.[1] Two years later Lars Magnus Ericsson installed a telephone in his car, although this was not a radio telephone. While travelling across the country, he would stop at a place where telephone lines were accessible and using a pair of long electric wires he could connect to the national telephone network.[2]

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invention_of_radio

    Tesla
    Around July 1891, Nikola Tesla constructed various apparatus that produced between 15,000 to 18,000 cycles per second. Transmission and radiation of radio frequency energy was a feature exhibited in the experiments by Tesla which he proposed might be used for the telecommunication of information.[11][12]
    After 1892, Tesla delivered a widely reported presentation before the Institution of Electrical Engineers of London in which he suggested that messages could be transmitted without wires. Later, a variety of Tesla's radio frequency systems were demonstrated during another widely known lecture, presented to meetings of the National Electric Light Association in St. Louis, Missouri and the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia.
    Between 1895 and 1899, Tesla claimed to have received wireless signals transmitted over long distances, although there is no independent evidence to support this.[13]

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio

    This word also appears in a 1907 article by Lee De Forest, was adopted by the United States Navy in 1912 and became common by the time of the first commercial broadcasts in the United States in the 1920s. (The noun "broadcasting" itself came from an agricultural term, meaning "scattering seeds widely".) The term was then adopted by other languages in Europe and Asia. British Commonwealth countries continued to mainly use the term "wireless" until the mid 20th century, though the magazine of the BBC in the UK has been called Radio Times ever since it was first published in the early 1920s.

    Diggity figured it out.

    interesting point about the phone. they would have to have a completely different system then. like if you went to the 1500's you could bring a generator with you. it would work but if anything breaks your fucked because the technology isnt there to fix it.

    The Western Electric Model 34A Audiphone Carbon Hearing Aid was manufactured in 1925, though, and looks much the same as the 38A model. The mystery doesnt go any deeper than that, fun though it is to imagine a time traveller with a mobile phone

    Having traveled to 1928 on numerous occasions I can assure you that typical cell phones will not work, so no doubt that is a model number xt500 diode powered multi-dimensional communicator...Cell Phone indeed...lol.

    It doesn't? Looking at pictures of those things I can't see why her entire hand would be wrapped around it the way it is in the video.

    ldo, the phone is the time traveling device which means its already linked to the future so no need for sattys. I mean, think about how crazy phones have gotten in just the last 5 yrs.
