Speaking of Great Product Placement
by jelloburn February 24, 2008 10:11 PM PST
The close-up on the Apple iPhone was great exposure for Apple.

With both of these products so prominently displayed, it makes me
wonder if there were some advertising dollars at work...

How could you suggest such a thing about the most noble of industries, with such high integrity? Shame!
Advertising Dollars, not so sure

I am not sure there were advertising dollars in either the appearance of the Wii or the Apple Iphone . Jon was clearly making light of both the wii and the apple iphone during the show.
If someone paid for product placement for these devices then they should look into getting their money back.
