Finally a girl... Kristen is mighty tasty!
I miss the PC vs Mac commercials... Mac if I don't make it you can have my peripherals, LOL! Best commercials ever!

I like these ads. For 30 second commercial showing a close up of the phone doing something interesting is right on.
At least all those people who were sulking at the lack of women in the first lot of ads can stop complaining now
Not only that, but for those who don't have a blog themselves, other than maybe blogger, most blog softwares let you email posts directly to a private email address so you can post simply by emailing your blog rather than logging in to your blog admin page. This makes it easy to email a photo from your iPhone to your blog and have it auto post to your readers without having to login and upload the photo, etc..
Most blogging platforms have the ability to email posts and images to an email address and it posts the story and image.
For some reason I knew as soon as I clicked on this thread the majority of the posts would be about Kristen...
I like the ads, especially the ballet dancer one. 
You all may find it surprising but pilots of large commercial aircraft do not have the ability to see large radar images such as the one demonstrated in the "Delay" ad (some small bizjets can do this). The idea that a pilot could get a look at the big picture (weather-wise) and have his dispatcher take a second look at the planned delay is not unrealistic except for one thing; these sorts of delays are almost always due to the traffic congestion caused by the weather system and not by the actual weather itself. This means that even if the weather system moves past your destination quicker than expected the delay persists because all the other flights have been waiting as well.
The upshot being that having an iphone, and hence the updated weather info, would not likely have any effect on getting the aircraft to it's destination sooner.

Am I the only one who thinks that these are some of the most unpleasant and self-involved people you have ever met?
Let's see ... the pilot who is so oblivious to reality that he is convinced that he and his consultation of weather.com are the only reason the airline was spared a 3 hour delay.
The pretentious off-broadway producer who is now a better artist because he can consult a fan site and report the complaints to the director. A play which essentially consists of people reading quotes from myfirsttime.com. Talk about a creative genius, no wonder the reviews are not exactly positive.
The guy who clearly has no time for people, especially those who owe him money. No matter how tragic your story might actually be, he really doesn't care and can now skip your messages. Thanks visual voice mail.
And finally the couple who is not bothered to even remember your name.
On a side note, I can't wait to get my own iphone and also become a pretentious git.

The ads are about the iPhone and what you can do with it so of course they seem self-absorbed. The things each of us do on the internet are the things personal and intimate to our lives; writing a blog, checking your email, watching your ebay auctions or whatever. These activities may seem self absorbed to you but they are essential and vital to the person doing them.
Can't you think of a time where having an iPhone in your hand would have saved you a lot of grief?

You're saying there should be more? AAAaaaaAAaaaRgh!
Is Apple aware of "Kim's" site?
"Ken" directs people to his play's "fan site." Can't help wondering whether Apple's aware that it's a site where people can post their first (or multiple) sexual experience(s).
Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course.
WARNING: Some of the postings at http://www.myfirsttime.com/ are pretty raw. Then again, some are funny, as in "I remember my first sexual experience. I was alone at the time. . ."

These are pretty good. The pilot one was kinda cheesy, I was expecting a sort of "we were stuck in the airport for 3 hours, so I took out my iPhone and started watching movies and e-mailing friends just like I was at home." But it wasn't *that* bad. Much better than the first three, which kinda just treat the iPhone as a phone, and not a portable laptop.
