I was just watching the iPhone videos on Apple's website, Guided Tour and What's New.
http://www.apple.com/iphone/guidedtour/
As usual, the videos are clear, concise and informative. But what's with the guy's hands? It seems like all of the guys that Apple uses in their demo videos wear Steve's black shirt, and all of them make the exact same repetitive motions with their hands. The iPhone guy holds onto the iPhone like he's praying with it, then opens his arms wide, then cradles the iPhone again, and back and forth and back and forth. It gets a bit annoying. Why does he have to hold the iPhone anyway? He never uses it.
When he's doing a Keynote, Steve always has that clicker, but he knows how to hold it and his hands are usually more animated. It's a nit-picky thing. But for a company with as much cash as Apple, it seems they could find an actor with better body language. (Although it could be that's what the actor was told to do....)
