I may or may not be the first one to notice that the iPhone Guided Tour- posted today to sync up to Apple’s Macworld announcement of the 1.13 iPhone software upgrade-has some syncing up problems of its own.

That being, the audio and video aren’t syncing up right. There’s got to be at least a half-second delay between when the unnamed host mouths the words, and when you hear them.

Considering Apple’s mostly well-deserved rep for meticulousness in their major announcements, this flaw is most surprising.

And just in case you are wondering- or even if you are not- I am seeing this flaw on a relatively fast Comcast broadband connection.

Readers, is it “just me,” or are you seeing this audio-video gap as well?
