Great video but it doesn't really say anything about the quality of AT&T's network because they were using wi-fi at the time.

Incorrect. The error message on the one clearly showed that the cellular data network was unavailable.

I noticed that as well but they were attempting to do the demonstration via wi-fi not the data network.

Apple's chief exec and irreplaceable master of ceremonies has few if any equals when it comes to wowing audiences during product demos, but even Steve Jobs's famous reality-distortion field couldn't protect him from an embarrassing Wi-Fi snafu during the big WWDC keynote Monday.

About 20 or 30 minutes into the big iPhone reveal, the Wi-Fi network that Jobs was using to show off Web browsing on the iPhone 4's revamped screen conked out, leaving Apple's normally poised, ultra-confident CEO a bit red-faced as the audience stared at a giant blank Web page.

They actually tried using 3g, and it failed, so they switched to Wifi and it failed again. Wifi was the backup

Yeah, i was "watching" it via engadget, and then "listening" to it via the live commentary from the iphone blog.

Apparently apple had security that was going through and telling people to shut down their laptops if they continued to use them before steve asked.

Wifi failed quite a few times through the demo. I found it ironic because when wifi failed at the google demo, there were commentators who said "just wait until WWDC, apple won't have this problem"

I'm glad you Verizon fanboys got a kick out of this. Now! Now! You don't all have to jump to thank me for my contribution to your daily dose of humor." 😛

Bah, I could care less about this incident (why I've avoided this thread until now). No product demonstration is free of glitches. It could have happened to any company.

However, the "Verizon" shout out was funny, I have to admit.
