Apple will never show movies on the ipad in an ad. Reason? Cause it would show two big black bars on the screen.
Wow really? How many iPad/iPhone commercials have featured Brave and other Pixar (no coincidence here) movies? I can think of a few showing Brave, but am having trouble finding them (a lot of now-private video links)
Here is one with Up.

The iPad 3/4 is heavier, thicker, and has a shorter battery life than the iPad 2. And it is more expensive than the 2 - now - but I'll give you credit for 1 out of 4 points.They said the same thing about the iPad 3...it would be heavier, thicker, have a shorter battery life and be more expensive...
They didn't "cheat." They double-tapped the movie and it filled the screen.Ok it showed a part of a movie in the commercial, but "cheated" by showing the 4:3 version
The mini is picked up from the table. So the next frame is the mini in someone's hand.I might be picking on things too much, but what exactly happens at 0:20 of the books ad? iPad mini is removed from the frame, yet next frame is focused on it. Why not remove the big iPad out of the picture, and zoom in on the mini?
I guess I am biased, but these commercials look to be some of the best commercials Apple has made in a while.
"Books" is for the left-brain folks and "photos" is for the right-brains. I like them both.
It is a lower DPI, but only because they quite literally shrunk an iPad 2 screen, and its UI, down to a 7.8" screen. Which also brings up ergonomic issues...

At least they got rid or fired whoever were responsible for those Olympic ads.
Oh you people are mad. The genius on the plane ad was entertaining. This new iBooks ad was 30 of the most boring seconds I've ever experienced. I had to check that it was only a 30 second ad because it felt longer.

80-90% of things people do on the ipad you can't tell much difference between an ipad3 retina and an ipad 2 screen. The issues are even less of an issue when you shrink the screen down to ipad2 screen.
I was thinking movies, but someone else mentioned games which is probably correct.
i like this one more than the piano commercial
Yes I do.You don't know that.
Not mad. They just have taste. The Olympic ads were crass and pandering.
Got my first chance to touch the new iPad mini today and OMG it's light and really does feel good in your hand (not hands). And really I didn't notice the low-res screen.
You're right, for reading eink gives less strain on the eye.Great ads. Perhaps the book one was a little too clever for some, judging by the comments on this forum.
Ding ding...was going to say the same thing.
They would have crushed it with putting retina on this...everyone knows it's coming...ridiculous they left it off.
