Apple Releases 'We Believe' Commercial for iPad 2

I hate Flash websites. I would never put my visitors through that horror.
All the kids know about iPad. I think they're trying to reach old people... Like, really old.
Why does Apple always need to include the tacky "content from iTunes" disclaimer at the end? Do people still not know this?
Reading comprehension is your friend.
1. This thread is about the ad.
2. I was stating my personal experience with my iPad 2 which was the same as with my iPad 1. There were no scratches or dents.
No amount of searching would change my personal "experience". I have also heard about people getting returns as "new" at some stores.
If the iPad is not covered by a plastic cover on the front and back then it is a return.
Do you listen to country music ironically? Do you drink PBR?
Nice, yet vain, attempt at backpedaling. Keep trying.
Steve Jobs isn't "wrong", he has made a business decision. And judging by the fact that over 160 million iOS devices have been sold, I would argue that not having Flash hasn't hurt Apple. Hatred for Flash is a direct result of its many shortcomings; not everyone who hates Flash is a "mac person".
As a side note, you do realise that "Mac people" can and do run Flash, right? Not every person who owns a macintosh owns an iPhone or iPod touch, and vice versa.
Legality. They can't show some of the apps (GarageBand, etc) as if they were native to the iPad.
Belief? Magical? Im sorry, Apple is smelling their farts a tad much. Last time I checked, they havent cured cancer/aids.
I love how you completely ignore the arguments that people are presenting to you and just reply with these ridiculous, ignorant, and irrelevant comments. Either address our points and prove us wrong, or don't comment at all.
Ps: I'm the one that needs to relax?

Ironic isn't it? Way to go and "tattle" on us.
You know that's not what they're trying to say. And last time I checked, it didn't take "magic" to cure cancer/aids. How about not bringing up topics like that when we're talking about something of far lesser gravity?
Pretty damn good results for being "wrong."
No Apple iDevice supports Flash. There have been around 180 million (I assume it's even more now) iDevices sold. None of them support Flash.
What are people lining up for the world over - overnight and the length of entire blocks, causing issues of demand outstripping supply? Apple iDevices.
Apple has completely, unequivocally, rendered the lack of Flash a total non-issue.
Why do so many people listen to Steve Jobs?
The man's usually right. Even when everyone screams "no", he turns around and releases something that pretty much wows everyone and redefines entire markets. He took Apple from near-death to rapidly approaching the most valuable company on the planet, with MS firmly in their rear-view mirror. You need some pretty amazing gear to accomplish this and *stay* there. People tend to listen to someone like that. As in, people who are successful inspire attention. I don't see why this is so terribly hard to understand.
Can't you "Apple apologists" see that he's right? The fact that 99% of the people who log on to a complaint forum to bitch about their iPad are having problems totally proves that 99% of iPads have the same problems. It's statistics!
Ummm..where's that <sarcasm> tag?
Okay you guys win:
4,000,000 sold 2% faulty = 80,000 faulty.
All will be exchanged by Apple if buyers/consumer want to do that.
Happy? Now move on!

This was a very, very good ad. Not their best but near the top. I really liked that it talks about design philosophy.
I love the figure 99%. You can swing an argument in your favour 99% of the time just by throwing it in there.
Ummmm try over 90%market share, again they are doing fine. Both companies can exist. You obviously have no IT background or you wouldn't make claims like that
Even if 200 million devices that apple produces doesn't that still leaves over 90% of computers that do and the #1 worldwide mobile os that does, does that make Steve right or wrong? No, it is his choice but don't make it seem like the web has turned their back on flssh
Beautiful guitar app in iPad 2 ad?
What guitar app was shown in the new iPad 2 ad? The way the strings seemed to vibrate had "magical" verisimilitude. But I don't think that scene came from either Garage Band or Classical Guitar apps. I'd appreciate it if someone could identify this app for me.
