Yeah... you can see the cables feeding something in... Windows is not Open
Source, so fitting in to the tablet is something that requires inside
knowledge and access to code, I think. Maybe only the display is used, _BUT_
the input from the screen is somehow fed back...
It can't really be fake because there's too much motion. The possibility that
the whole thing is a video that's running on the unit isn't out of the
question, but the tapping and response (for several minutes) require a lot
of rehearsal.
