Irony: Microsoft & Telstra demo blows up as they bash Android as 'not being ready'!

I was reading an article on CNET titled, “Ballmer dismisses Google Android” when I laughed out loud at the irony of the situation.  Ballmer (Microsoft) and Trujillo (Telstra) were demonstrating their new 21 Mbps Next G network when reporters asked about Google’s Android mobile platform.  Ballmer and Truillo dismissed Android as “not ready”, with Trujillo suggesting that Android was “not compelling”.  The irony was both Ballmer and Trujillo were killing time because their demo was busted – the Next G network didn’t work.  Ballmer tried to take the blame suggest, “I do have to say, I think I probably did it” – what is the old saying about ‘Glass Houses’?
