Apple iPod TV Ad #4 Posted

Another thing to download :D

I wonder how long Apple will be using this ad campaign strategy. Do they even show any Mac comercials anymore? It seems like its all about the iPod lately.

This one is good
I like it

why would they use a song in a commercial that you can't download on iTunes?

The iPod is going to die a quick death as it is replaced by the mini in the mainstream. Just look at the rankings of the apple site. Most people who want to buy these things don't need the gigantic space and like the small size. We seem to forget how short a life-span a product has in modern electron culture. Just look at the cellphone market...the V60 was everywhere 2 years ago and now is gone. Fortunately, apple has made a product capable of replacing the orginial ipod and can continue in the marketplace. Perhaps the best analogy is back to motorolla and the v60 replacing the ubiqous(sp) StarTac. I can't wait to order mine.

is it just me? or is anyone else tired of the dancing shadow people?

i want something new...

:p

There will always be a need for high capacity mp3 players. The regular iPod will not die. Everyone who buys those 200 cd holders are perfect customers for the larger capacity iPods. :P

Well, I just have to make this comment. I was at the SoHo NY Apple Store this weekend to hear David Pogue do his 1 1/2 hour talk on tips and tricks in Panther. It was a good, entertaining session, and I learned a few things I never knew Panther could do.

But, as we were sitting there waiting for him to come out and start, they had what appeared to be commercials playing on the big sreen. There were quite a few for the iPod I had never seen before, and one of them really struck me! It showed a hand using an iPod in the lower right corner, scrolling through playlists and genres, and in the background was a full screen image that "scrolled' along with it, kind of like the old TV sets when the image "rolled", but the difference was that each image was something different that was supposed to represent a song or genre of music. Then the hand would come to a stop on one and start playing. This image, for example a field with flowers would come to the front and the image zoomed through, like you were flying through the scene. Then the hand popped up again, and scrolled through images again, stopped on a hoppin' scene with a DJ mixing it up, and again, the view would zoom through the scene, all as the music played. I believe there was one other after that, but I don't recall now what it was.

The point is, as I was watching, I thought, DAMN, that is an AWESOME commercial. Then I got angry, because obviously Apple has not released these to be aired. I can't understand why they've chosen to go with these dumb dancing silhouette people instead of something cooler, like this one.

I don't know how well I described these commercials, but believe me, they were REALLY awesome. I just wish Apple would get them on TV already!

Never have like the dancing shadow ad series. An the latest ipod bores me. I think I called it a step sideways on aother thread.

I want a real rumor. Like ... Apple called into Area 51 to assist in development of back-engineered alien technology.
