Found Footage: iPhone costume update includes working 40" LCD

Last year we brought you the footage of Reko and John sporting giant TV screens with jailbroken iPhones powering the costumes. They used “updated” iPhones, but still sported square edges and no touchscreen interfaces. This year John Savio goes it alone with an updated, touchscreen iPhone 4 costume that’s the best we’ve seen.
