How bad does Microsoft have Apple iPhone envy? I don’t know, but a clever video announcing the release of a Microsoft oFone imagines a world where a demented Microsoft attempts to go toe to toe with Apple in the mobile device space.

According to a May 1 report on the Seattle Post Intelligencer Web site Microsoft showed the spoof video during the recent Mobile and Embedded Developer Conference in Las Vegas.

Some make believe features:

* Multi-touch keyless interface

* “Quick Fetch Plus” feature that lets the oFone double as a boomerang

* Supports three-way mobile pong games

* Ability to receive o-mail

See pictures and watch a video of the oFone here.
