Remember kids, it’s LIVE TV. Apple Declines comment.

Fun little note about Apple’s PR team form the AP:

Apple’s media blitz wasn’t without its glitches.

On NBC’s "Today" show, co-host Meredith Vieira ran into problems trying to get the iPhone to work, laughing that "this is why gadgets drive me crazy."

With a team of Apple representatives hovering off-screen, Vieira was supposed to receive a call from co-host Matt Lauer in London. The iPhone—billed by Apple as the most user-friendly smart phone ever—displayed the incoming call, but she couldn’t answer it.

Apple spokeswoman Natalie Kerris declined to comment.

Ouch.

Cool to note that Steve Jobs showed up in Palo Alto and signed autographs, while Steve Wozniak (ex-partner of Jobs, co-founder of Apple) showed up at a Silicon Valley mall at 4am (on his Segway!) and bought two.

I’m back in NYC. Cats are alive. Happy weekend.
