Apple Releases New 'iPad is Iconic' Commercial
Apple today released a new iPad commercial entitled "iPad is Iconic", airing the ad on primetime television and posting it to the company's YouTube page to show off a number of high-profile applications for the popular tablet device.
As with previous commercials in the series, the new ad offers the same soundtrack and follows the same theme of displaying a series of quick shots of the iPad's capabilities interspersed with corresponding single-word descriptions relevant to the "iPad is..." theme: "fresh" (djay), "tickets" (American Airlines HD), "news" (The Wall Street Journal), "stories" (iBooks), a running counter racing past 60,000 iPad apps available in the App Store, "students" (Pages), "teachers" (Noterize), "hollywood" (Movie★Slate), and "iconic" (Vanity Fair Magazine).

Apple would be smart, very smart, to advertise ipad2 during the Super Bowl. You know Verizon is going to with their iphone4.

Huh, so Fincher is doing these ads too?
Edit: Oh wow... They really love 9:41 don't they? :)

The slate app is not beneficial! The point of a slate in a motion picture is the correctly sync the sound and motion. Without a moving piece to snap and make a sound, its pointless. Cool concept though

Great commercial the Marilyn Monroe part really takes it though !
ipad is "fresh" is the winner for me because I was going to get that same app for it when I score the ipad2. I think that little snippet will open more eyes than ever. Kids don't even want pcs anymore; they want iPads.

Eh..a new ad now?
With at least one more new one due on super bowl sunday?
As an investor, I'm a little miffed. iPad 2 commercials are in the editing room already and Apple is still pulling out new ads for iPad 1? I dunno, seems like they overspent.
Sorry if that sounds penny pinching, but it's practical.
