I love this ad, it has the sentiment of the Think Different ads and shows off its technical capabilities and apps, nice work!
 
I'll "believe" when they fix the currently unresolved and widespread quality control issues...light bleed on virtually every unit and blemishes, dents and scratches on units straight out of the box.

Fix those issues, Apple, and then I will "believe" enough to get an iPad 2.
 
I saw the commercial debut live during the Butler-VCU game and loved it right away! Awesome job by the :apple: Marketing Group. It captures the essence of the product and the emotional attachment we get with it. Bravo! :D

No light bleed, blemishes, dents, or scratches on my new 64GB AT&T or my friend's 64GB Verizon.
 
A really good representation of what Apple is striving to do in the "post PC" era. It's not about tech specs anymore (although those are still important things). Rather, Apple is leading in the innovation of consumer experience, which perhaps, is more essential to a product's success than simply its size, memory, screen resolution, etc. The future leaders of technology will be the ones that entice their customers through the brilliance and personal connections made with their products.

In this new world, Apple no longer has to compete on specs and features, nor does it want to. There is no Mac vs. PC here -- only "the future" versus "the past." It won't be a debate about displays, memory, wireless options -- it will be a debate about the quality of the experience. Apple is not just eschewing the spec conversation in favor of a different conversation -- it's rendering those former conversations useless. It would be like trying to compare a race car to a deeply satisfying book. In a post-PC world, the experience of the product is central and significant above all else. It's not the RAM or CPU speed, screen resolution or number of ports which dictate whether a product is valuable; it becomes purely about the experience of using the device.

Engadget wrote a great article about this a while back, in case you're interested.
And if you're not interested, maybe you'll prefer this link instead. :)

Of the 4 in my family, none of these issues exists. Try again?

This is simply an amazing ad.
 
You're deluding yourself.

yea uh huh sure.

I want to ask you how many ipad 2s have you seen out in the wild?

Because I have seen 14, mine, my aunt, my friend, my friend's dad, and 10 in band class.

and none of them have any of the said issues.

so in my experience 100% ipad 2s don't have any hardware issue


let me throw these comments back in here too

Oh dear. How is Stevie going to sleep at night knowing that one potential customer is still on the fence...:rolleyes:

Frankly, they don't give two animal-faecal-secretions about whether you buy it or not.
 
Did any of you notice the obnoxious in your face music in the background obviously designed to detract your attention away from the product?

How about the "Screen Images Simulated" tagline that lets people know that we basically spruced up everything you saw in After Effects and you won't get the same effect?

What about the line by line jabs at competitors products that make the viewer feel unsure about just how useful the product is if they need to refer to a competitors product to make a point.

....yeah. I didn't notice any of that either.

Nicely done :apple:.

just because you have no idea what you're talking about doesn't mean you need to show that ignorance to everyone else...
