Whoever owns the number 201-844-9120 would probably also disagree that there were no major glitches. Although that glitch is more with techcrunch video distribution team. These are really minor glitches for a product demonstration. Major glitches are when something with the product fails, like this one during a Windows 98 demonstration:

I'd bet it's the Uber driver trying to get in touch for the pick-up.

Great to see a "live" demonstration of a new technology, but there are some things that should be scripted to avoid this kind of thing.

Pretty sure that phone call was staged to make it look more live.
