Very nice. Just like packaging they use emotion and desire whereas competitors use flashy numbers and "we've also gOT this "

One word to describe this entire ad campaign: Classy
Such a big contrast from ads with robotic space ships or trash talking the competition or the "hey mom, look what I can do" type of ads that we see from the competition.
Multitasking sounds great but you can realistically only watch one video at a time on a small screen. Realistically, you can only interact with one application at a time as well.

I don't see why people think this is amazing, it's just an ad saying random things the iPad does. I think they could make a more MAGICAL ad for a MAGICAL device. (maybe with unicorns or something like that.)
What can't other business do smart, classy ads like these... oh, that right they are a me too product, that's just not good enough.
Would had love to create a campaign like this one time in my career

I think of that ad too when I try to figure out the mentality of someone moved by those weird middle-school-macho Android tablet ads Best thing about that Xoom ad: it focuses on an awesome 3D game. A game ported from the iPad. And, at the time, the ONLY tablet-optimized game for Honeycomb!! Talk about intentionally misleading advertising... to have a whole ad focused on a device as a game machine, when there are no games to speak of, and that one game runs on the iPad anyway!
Not nearly enough lasers, lightning, or creatures morphing out of liquid metal. No epic rock music.
They'll not sell a single one.

Nah, they should hire Richard Dreyfuss again but have him do a funny ad in a fake german accent.I want Apple to hire Jeff Goldblum again for thier ADs.
Apple should adopt a campaign like this for the iPhone, instead of the prudish 'if you don't have an iPhone' ad campaign.
Also, bring back get a Mac or something similar.

100% agree...
The "You don't have an iPhone" is simply horrid. It reeks of desperation. The iPad commercials are simply amazing. Smooth. serene, calm, confident.
Classic show don't tell.

I agree. Those commercial perpetuate the stereotype that Apple users are just egocentric cronies who think they're better than you.
about video calling...
I'd really like to see apple push a universal standard & universal hardware for video calling. To be able to call someone's phone, living room TV, or their computer from your iPad would be amazing.
Ideally, I'd like the Apple TV to have a forward facing iSight HD camera in it so I can video call my grandma who lives in another state from my iPad. I'd buy everyone in my family a $99 Apple TV if that was the case.
