Honestly, the response from the audience in the hall seemed to suggest we were not getting it. We were expecting multiple devices.

I have to assume that most of the people who were in the room knew the rumors also, and were just waiting to see if they were true. I did watch it live, and that's what I was doing, at least. :)
