Not bad
Just saw it, like many of you. Rather fun, but was sort of ruined for me by a video art piece I saw at our local art gallery a couple of years ago - the artist put together a montage of tv shows and movies where the exact same thing was done - he used only the "Hello" parts (just like the ad) and then used the "Goodbye" parts - the entire video lasted, oh, about 8 minutes as I recall. It was a very nice, original piece of work.
Let's see if I can dig up the artist - so he can sue Apple. Ha!

Thanks for the link! The ad was pretty cool. It felt like the "Think different." campaign. I loved the ending. =D
Ok?
Did not even catch it....... thanks to Tivo I got a second chance.
For a teaser... pretty cool!

iPONE AD AWWWW
yo i just saw it. aww i loved it . when they were showing all of the people picking up the phones i started to get that this could be it. and if you think about it, it makes sense they'd air during the oscars because phones are seen in movies more than in football games! lol

Hello?
Hello? That was awsome! It had only the greatest clips from the greatest movies! That was the best commercial (excluding 1984) that Apple has ever made. Bravo Apple!

and I want to add......
This is the BEST *&^%$#$%^&* Mac Forum on the PLANET! Only the freaks on this site would man up the commercial seconds after it aired.
You SUMS_A_BEEEEEEATCHES are da SHIZZLE!

thanks for the link. i liked it. hopefully someone will post an HD clip of it though
Yes!
That commercial was so good, it could have been the best one during the Super Bowl. But it would have been out of place, so it was good timing.

Thanks, I hadn't seen the very beginning. Although, technically, this isn't the whole ad (it's missing the apple logo at the end).

I found it. Sorry, Apple - this has been done before - back in 1995:
"Cleverly conceived and artfully edited, (artist) Christian Marclay's 7 1/2-minute video, Telephones, comprises a succession of brief film clips that creates a humorous narrative of its own in which the characters, in progression, dial, hear the phone ring, pick it up, converse, react, say goodbye and hang up."
