From what I read (also on Twitter), it was a presentation where you snap a picture from your BB, and it shows up right away on your Playbook. At least that's the way I interpreted it..

Its nothing major, even the great Steve Jobs has his moment when demo goes south.
If. I recall the feature was already demo-ed at CES.

From what i have read on the comments on the video Kevin posted, Vivek walked out of bluetooth range which makes sense seeing that it was working but then could not connect. Great Presentation though and besides Thorsten Heins just shruged it off and moved on, good move. Really shows how calm and in control he is, doesn't let a few small mishaps ruin his day ;-)

People are blowing this out of proportion. The photos app launched as soon as he took the picture. But it was just locked. I don't know why. Or how to unlock it. But that's what happened.
The basic gist of it worked though. Taking a picture on his BB. And it launching the photo (app) in seconds on the PB.

So a live on stage demo of new software had a glitch? Shocker!
This happens all the time to every company. It's even happened to Apple. I don't understand why it's a big deal.

Are people blowing it out of proportion? I haven't really seen or heard much other than this thread, and the initial Tweets.

I just feel bad for the guy. They know what's riding on this... and who hasn't made a presentation that had some element of surprise? If you've ever done one, you know what I mean...

It's right at the 19.55 minute marker...
