Funny man Conan O'Brien appeared on his show last night with a BlackBerry Torch 9800 and proceeded to live tweet the whole show using Twitter for BlackBerry! Check out the video above for the clip of Conan and Andy with their BlackBerry Torches. I wonder who sponsored this segment? ;) Maybe this sort of thing will turn into a new trend for show hosts. I know plenty of writers use Twitter to live blog events that others may not be able to attend. Would you follow Twitter accounts for that reason?

For the full story on last night's show, you can check out The Official Team Coco Twitter account or the Team Coco website.

It's a TBS clip, so no mobile view. Sorry

Here, I could pull the .flv link from the Flash object, but it can not be streamed. You could try downloading it on your BlackBerry and then playing it back: bit.ly/g8va2l

Peace,
Yousif.

The local fox affiate in Minnesota has an anchor man that finds a reason to mention his iphone. I had to laugh last week the tech section of the news blasted the iphone as nothing more than a fashion accessory. Blackberry scored high for business and andriod did really good for the geek savy market.

They really paid for it! The Torch is THAT awesome. Why wouldn't he want to show it off in front of millions of fans.

Is this video available in Canada? BTW, Jimmy Fallon has been doing this for a while - except he's plugging Apple and Panasonic. Thanks for the boob tube linky!!!
