I love how she’s just rubbing her finger on the screen before Ryan takes it. The phone isn’t even *on* at that point.

This is an iPhone. And a rather long pause with the crowd cheering and Ryan nodding with a knowing smile!

Rings any Bells?

I think he pulled a Steve Jobs right there 🙂

I love how Randy, Paula, and Simon were mocking Ryan with their coke glasses.

Ryan Seacrest is already awkward, so this is just an extension of that.

I find it funny that people complain that Apple needs to promote their features more and stop mocking Microsoft… Well, to those who complain, here you are! I hope you’re happy.
