I think I remember someone in this thread saying that's a custom made setup. If you want one, you'll probably have to bang one together yourself.
Got a tip for us?

I just found this on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyOCpAk6FV0
(Sorry about the ads at the beginning)
This ad is incredible.
The people saying "most people don't use it for this derp" surprise me. You use it for what you want to use it for. Just like the PC.
There isn't a whole heck of a lot the iPad can't do these days. It's not just a "consumption" device. I was looking at apps to use alongside the guitar the other day and was quite impressed by what is out there.

Normally, I'd agree with you. But as someone who's usually an Apple skeptic and who's typing this from my Note 3, I couldn't disagree more. Like others have said, I too had an immediate and visceral reaction. I thought this was a WONDERFUL piece of advertising and really draws the viewer in.
Well done, Apple. Well done. :thumbup:
Two things I'd say.
For the non tech person, all they saw there was people using A Tablet. May as well of been any brand.
For about 1 second right at the end saying Extra Hardware Required for some uses.
Nice to sneak that in for a second right at the end in smaller font so it's missed.

Just pondering why no one has said:
"Ohh, look that bloke looks an idiot taking photo's with his iPad"
Like almost everyone was saying on these forums not that long ago.
Funny that!
So it's all cool now is it ?
Note: I have never had an issue with someone using an iPad for Photo of Video work.
I think Apple should put the same Camera the iPhone has in the iPad.
It's disgusting, given the space in the iPad they insist of deliberately crippling their tablet in this regard when they have the module in their phone they can use. Likewise no flash unit either, when the iPad with it's massive batter and internal spec could handle that with ease also.

You got it right. iPad is good for certain things but not for what this ad is saying it is good for.

If people don't understand the ad you should feel bad for those who produced the ad not the people.
Another ad where Apple doesn't mention any competition. I love it.
Maybe because there is none.
here's another example, not quite as appropriate a comparison, but also a poem type montage:

If you're #1, there's no need to mention the competition. If you're 2 to whatever, of course you mention how you compare to (are better than) #1.
Marketing 101 would not agree with you. Look at the car industry. They do it all the time.
As for the ad, it was okay. Nothing wow for me, but a nice ad nonetheless. I just hope it doesn't embolden more people to use iPads for photos and video in public situations. I use to say I wanted to take a bb gun to every iPad - not just iPad, all tablets - videographer at my kid's play or sporting event. Then I realized it's not the iPad's fault. It's the user. {rant over}
A little too much emotive message? The big news is the change of Apple using the product as hero, with full zoom... this really changed especially with iPad Air. They don't need to show people how to use the iPad anymore... instead what you can do with it.
BTW, for emotional connection ads, Google in my opinion is spot on these days.

That depends on what field your in. I can use any device as long as it has application to my work. A surface pro is not more portable or useable than a ultra book or MacBook air. It's actually a more clumsily device with keyboard than a laptop.
I've spent many years on these forums and seen a wide variety of opinions and thoughts and it never ceases to amaze me that people forget that what Apple makes is a means to an end, not the end itself. Apple's devices help people learn and navigate the world around them. Their devices help you express yourself and create things. But, all too often, we become complacent and too bound up in our daily lives to see what can be or what could be.
This ad reminds me and others that our iPads can do so much more than we often give it credit for or even know that it can do. That alone makes this ad great.

Music in Background
In case anyone's wondering, the score in the background is from To The Wonder and it was written by Hanan Townshend. It's the first track on the CD: "Awareness"
Here's a link to it on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/to-wonder-original-motion/id626454803

Ooh... please do share!!!
I would LOVE to hear how such a sophisticated, high-minded individual as yourself is impressed with attack ads by Microsoft & Samsung that the rest of us lesser mortals find atrocious. Please bless us by explaining how this poignant, moving quote- coupled with amazing evocative humanistic technology-related footage is actually garbage. Perhaps a few of us will be able to comprehend enough to join your ranks, oh wise one. Apologies for that other poster claiming that you lack imagination. Obviously they are not as privy to the depths & latitudes of your impeccable taste as you and I are. Please forgive or at least pity them.
/scathing sarcasm
He may be sad, but he is right.
If this were an ad for the SGNote3 or for Windows8 or the Surface, everyone would be rolling their eyes and complaining about the products.
Just the nature of this forum.
I believe you're looking for this:
The Padcaster
Don't ask me how it works. This is the first I've heard of it.
