You'll also see that there are at least a few other videos of
the same experiment, with the same result.
I wasn't able to find any explanation for this on line,
although I didn't check for long.
On the face of it, this seems to add weight to the idea that
cell phones are potentially hazardous to health, but I have never
found those arguments convincing.

You get an A for concision, but not such a high grade for
thoroughness.
Maybe it's not clear that I'm asking for an explanation, if
you'd be so kind.

What I'd like to know is what the grey and white thing with the
red power button is. It appears in both videos, and I've got a
feeling you are going to have some difficulty reproducing this
experiment if you haven't got one yourself.

I don't see such a thing in the video you posted. Where is it?

Thanks, Minnesota.Obviously I'm assuming it's a hoax, and the
answer is probably right out there and I'm blindly missing it. But
there are several instances of this on the Web, and in most cases
there are people responding "it's a hoax", as you did, but offering no
explanation. I will believe that it's a hoax when there is evidence
from which to draw that conclusion. I cannot see any. Skepticism works
in all directions.

In my video it is the "phone" that the woman puts on the table. In
your video it is the "phone" on the lower left when the camera is
focused on the popcorn.
Whatever that is, the same device is used in both videos and it
really doesn't look much like a phone.
What is happening here?
