Has anyone seen any iPad 2 ads? I don't believe apple has spent a single cent thus far on iPad 2 advertising.... I wonder what's up with that?
My guess is that Apple knows that for the first few weeks demand will outstrip supply no matter what they do. So after about a month with iPads finally start sitting on shelves on a consistant basis Apple will roll out their ads.
Also, what kind of marketing do u think apple will use for the iPad 2? I'm really tired of the "ooo look we have a ton of apps!" Especially because a) they have been advertising that for iPhone and iPod touch for years and b) the honeycomb tablets are going to be getting tons of apps also. iPad 2 needs to differentiate itself.
I hope they don't spin up facetime too much. Facetime is old news and every other tablet being released now has a front camera. I wouldn't mind if some ads feature this, but I want Apple to show other things. Maybe the thinness? Smart cover? HDMI out? I think showing the iPad as an instruction tool in a school setting would be neat. And in the medical setting. Maybe that should be their angle. Instead of showing all the fun apps that people play with, Apple can show all the different situations, settings and people that can use the iPad. Teachers, Students, Doctors, Waiters, Kids in the backseat. Car passanger using a GPS app. Photographer showing off their portfolio. browsing on your couch. Reading in your bed. cooking in your kitchen. Each ad could feature maybe 5 or 6 three second clips. Then highlight exactly thin and portable it is. I think that'd be a real winner.
