I know marketing is marketing, but it's bad form IMO to "demo" something in a manner totally detached from its actual manner of use. A swype keyboard takes practice to use, but the demos of that sort of input typically show it being used in a realistic way, even if the demo driver is an "expert".

This is the sort of demo that 1) gives people a misleading idea of what the product can actually do; and 2) ultimately contributes to the inevitable cynical backlash.

If the product is really great, people can see it in a realistic demo of its capabilities.
