Use of mobile phone in-flight?

Video of this incident shown on commercial television was reportedly captured on a mobile phone. I wonder if Qantas, CASA or the FAA will be trying to establish whether

1. the report is correct
2. if it is correct, was the phone being used in 'flight mode'
3. if the answer to question 2 is 'no', will the person who took the video (who no doubt was paid handsomely for his video) be prosecuted?

That said, the captain's PA was extraordinarily professional and must have engendered a great deal of confidence in the passengers whose lives were in his very capable hands. Well done Sir!
