As you all know Apple announced the release date of the iPhone by rolling out 3 iPhone ads, if that was not enough for you, here is a iPhone spoof ad that shows the iPhone sitting in for the Monolith in this 2001: A Space Odyssey mashup.

A similar spoof video was also done on the iPod (2001 - A Space iPodyssey), so the iPhone (2001 - A Space iPhoneyssey??) definitely is in some good company.

The YouTube videos of the ads as well as some observations are available after the jump.

The Apple iPhone ads released this weekend were good, I guess thats expected from Apple and the important thing was that the release date of the iPhone is now official. Though this spoof ad isn't as good, it definitely deserves a look.

The ad shows the iPhone dialing Mission control, checking email, shows the moon on Google Maps not to forget all this with the actual shots from Space Odyssey in the background and freaks out the astronauts when it starts playing music, nice touch. The credit must go to the creator of the ad for giving so much attention to details.
