Seems like Walt Mossberg made the girl comment in this video where Jobs is talking about headphones for video. Mossberg also made fun of Dell’s large phone, saying it was like holding a waffle up to your head, and the market proved him wrong there.

These devices, in their current form, aren’t something to wear while walking around town, like someone might do with headphones.

People are already so self-absorbed that they text and watch movies on their phones while driving. A lightweight, untethered headset is an ideal conduit for distraction in the car.
