This might be one of the most fruitful ads Google has ever enjoyed. And it wasn't even created by Google.

According to NBC Bay Area News, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak was on the set of an education program called "NBC Class Action" when he was asked an entirely innocent question: what is your favorite gadget?

Wozniak reportedly replied: "Well, it's the latest one. It's a non-Apple product, but it's a gadget that just came out yesterday."

You will be stunned into February to hear that this remark was made the day after Google launched its Nexus One phone.

Woz wrote in to gadget blog Gizmodo, to set the record straight:

Actually, everyone got it wrong. My favorite phones are my iPhones. When asked what my favorite gadgets were I took it to mean new gadgets I was playing with (that I considered good). I am not a switcher but I'm not going to tell people that the Nexus One is not a good gadget.
