iPod Touch guy different than iPhone guy

Iphoneguy V Touchguy We all know Bob, the guy who does those iPhone feature overview videos (and who’s the head of iPhone marketing). Well it seems Apple must have liked those informative little clips, because they’ve created one for the new iPod Touch. The only difference is good ‘ol Bob has now been replaced by a new guy.

This new “Guided Tour” guy does the exact same types of hand gestures and demonstrations as Bob, though Macenstein notes one interesting difference:

[It’s] really interesting is how Apple managed to match the look of the iPod touch Guy to the device itself. When using the iPhone and the iPhone Guy as a reference, you can see that, just like the iPod touch, the guy seems a little off – a little more awkward and out of proportion. He has a little more forehead as well, just like the iPod touch. And of course, he has less icons as well.

He doesn't have less icons, he has glasses! Anyways I liked the first guy's fingers better...

I don't get the forhead comment. Clearly the iPhone has more forehead (the speaker). That quote must have been written by an iPhone user who wants to take shots at the iPod touch because he's bitter about the price cut.
