The last video taken of Madeleine McCann.

I neither like it, nor dislike it, just pointing out that a youtube clip title proves nothing apart from your susceptibility to making unfounded assumptions.

Perhaps you would like to retract that - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6698737.stm

That Youtube clip  PLUS  http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6698737.stm

3rd paragraph down

That seems definitive.  Quote from article: "The mobile phone footage also shows her on an airport bus in the Algarve"

My son has duley informed me that from 2003 front casing cameras were available ...


Front-facing camera with connector of LG Optimus L7 II
A front-facing camera is a common feature of cameras, mobile phones, smartphones, tablets. While generally cameras have their front-facing camera on the front for taking photos facing forward, tablets and smartphones and similar mobile devices have their front-facing camera on the back to allow taking a self-portrait photograph or video while looking at the display of the device, usually showing a live preview of the image. Front-facing cameras are therefore an important development for videotelephony and the taking of selfies.[1][2][3][4]

History
Several mobile phones released in 2003 to western markets introduced front-facing cameras, including the NEC e606[5], NEC e616[6], Sony Ericsson Z1010[7] and Motorola A835.[8] The front-facing camera was originally intended for video-conferencing.[9]

I found this to confirm from wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front-facing_camera

were the phones taken in for evidence ? i am thinking from the perspective of video or photos taken on the holiday that may have been clues toward the abductor

I presume this was the same footage where Gerry told the cameraman to f*ck off.

Surely not!

So easy for a poor audio track to be misheard ... wasn't there a similar kerfuffle when it was thought that Amaral had been heard saying f*ck the McCanns when he was saying something quite different in Portuguese.  It being said he does not speak English.

[pathfinder73]

IMO F off! Do you think I'm here to enjoy myself!

In my opinion ... enlarge and watch on youtube and watch Gerry's mouth moving from 0:19 as the shot pans.
Gerry is talking as the camera pans saying not two words but a sentence. 
As I have already said Amaral was similarly misrepresented when it was thought he had said "F*ck the McCanns as the result of a poor sound track.

[carlymichelle]

i heard it i also heard   someone say that gerry spoilt it??

I'm sure you did, carly.  But isn't it just amazing the way Gerry appears to be speaking in conversation and only a disembodied two words minus a Scottish accent are said?

I wonder why the BBC editorial team didn't get a Portuguese speaker to listen and tell them "Fale com os McCann" only sounds like something else, but isn't really and didn't need to be bleeped out.  I believe it is denied in blogs that he even spoke to a British reporter, let alone spoke in English.

I thought we were discussing videos of the McCanns?
