Björk

I heard Björk was going to do an ad for Apple. Nice. This must be it.

The pilot one is so cheesy

Nice, but there is no way to post photos from your iphone to a website unless you have sort of .mac email gallery going on.

Fine. I'll be _that_ guy, and just say it:

Kristin, the Winger, is hot.


And you know what they say about ballet dancers?

You don't?

Me neither.

But I've gotta believe it's all good.

Not my favorite ads ever, but these three are way better than the first three.

i like that all these ads are targeting people and what they can do with it. I do think the pilot one is stupid though!

Pervert :P. Just kidding . I like how Macrumors uses the picture of the attractive woman in the story . . . .

Good point, maybe apple will change this soon. It would be awesome to open all files stored on your iphone to do anything with, even if it is just accessing from the browser for just such a thing as uploading photos or emailing documents.

I agree that Apple is showing what people can do with the iPhone. But that Pilot one was such a mistake. Kinda reminds me of Switchers, remember that?

That's my favorite one! The Pilot just threw the competence of tower controller under the bus on public television! I laughed for at least 5 minutes straight

I think that would be commercial television, not public television. I doubt that these ads will air on public television.

Okay, so I'm being nit picky tonight. So sue me.

Personally, I like the ads.

Well! well in you Avatar pic your center of gravity is off too much toward the left hand side of your body, I think you would tumble with less then 40 pounds of pressure to your front. And the long red show belt you wear isn't very practical in a fight as it is begging to be grabbed and manipulated. Any keen martial artist would keep those "handles" tucked away or just wear a more practical belt!

Kristin has never used an iPhone before this ad - if she has; it's only been for 2 seconds... her scrolling is not how a user does it.

She's quite cute though, for an American girl.

They're bendy? I dated a ballet dancer once - she was a bit of an airhead but fun nonetheless.

Back to the ads, they seem a little gooberish for my tastes.

And here's an earlier post of hers, during her trip to LA to shoot the commercial. Check out the, ahem, nice self-portrait. And she rented a Harley!

Sigh.
