Embarassment for Apple as iPhone fails live demo
NBC's Today show was the venue for an embarassing public failure for the iPhone on Friday as co-host Meredith Vieira was unable to pick up an incoming call from a presenter here in rainy London.
After an initial drool-fest over the iPhone's featureset Vierra tried to picked up an incoming call, but it wouldn't connect forwarding the caller through to voicemail.
This probably had more to do with AT&T than Apple, but it no doubt caused a bit of hair loss among the Apple representatives who were off-screen protecting their babies which had yet to go on sale.
You can see all the fun below....
