iPod New iPod ad?!

It's ok. It follows the coolness of the billion download countdown and the screen-saver. The cityscape is not so poignant (yes, I get what they are saying), the music is rather shocking (loud and in your face), and the length is once again short enough that they are not communicating anything other than, it's cool (hey, if that is where they want to be, then fineimage is everything, right).
pretty cool ad, caught me offguard without the dancing! When Vista is about to ship (ie 4 years from now), Apple should start posting ads along of the lines of macTV podcasts that point out all the things that Micro$uck is "borrowing" from Tiger and OS X(2 years too late). Then they should be like, hey, we have better looking computers AND a new OS about to launch. Forget windows, they're 2 years behind!
You can't find the humor, but you think it would be funny.Phobophobia said:
Maybe you mean "unexpected"?Anyway, I think the commercial is okay. Nothing to write home about...but I guess that isn't the point of an ad for a product that's already been on the market for a while.
You need to get out and listen to more music!Aarow said:
Or maybe I just recognised more since I'm in the same age group (i.e. old) as the creative folks who chose the album covers? Now I'm depressed.

I liked the ad up to when the buildings start to break apart and I started to think 9/11, but it redeemed itself by going into the iPod - I think this could have been avoided by having the buildings sucked up into an iPod instead (the bottom of the iPod).
The silhouette ads were truly inspired - how many of you think iPod when you see the white cord going upto someones ears. It's like an ad that runs everywhere, everyday.

All i find from this ad is that they aren't going to change the nano sometime soon
For the video i hope if they make the screen bigger i hope they make it so the current ipod can support it for connecting it to a tv.

They should have all of the albums make a card castle, and then one of the silhouette dancers could knock it over with a foot.
The Nirvana - Nevermind album stands out big time at the top of the building with the close-up...
$20 says they have to edit the commerical because some retard complains that there's a baby's penis on television.
Seriously, anyone want to take that bet?

I'm a walking talking ipod ad!!! YAY!
About the sucking, bottom would be cooler, then it could build up pressure blast off like a rocket leaving the battery behind/ the screen could burst.
This commercial is awesome. Doubly so since I caught the album art for My Bloody Valentine's legendary album "Loveless" in there. Props to Apple for a nice, new, different iPod ad.
adamcz said:They can't do that because the regular iPod is getting replaced in just a couple weeks. No point in building a campaign around it now.
At least that's what I'm hoping for.
If the true iPod video is released soon, I don't see it replacing the current iPod. Not everyone wants a full-screen iPod with digital touch screen controls. Now myself... of course I would want it.
And, funkychunkz, I really like that ad idea. That would've been pretty awesome.
That is the coolest commercial ever.
Do you think Apple will release HD iPods or something?
I could even see a 5G iPod with a smaller HD, like they did with the nano. (added a 1GB nano) Does anyone else see this happening or am I just dreaming?

It would've been quite hilarious. It would've been as funny as the Starbuck's posters with the bugs flying towards two cups that people said were arranged like the WTC and got their panties in a bunch over it. Click here to read about this: http://www.snopes.com/rumors/cool.htm
It was a joke, get over it. Personally, 9/11 is something that people need to laugh about or at least get over it. But I'll probably be flamed about that.
Pretty cool digital effects. Nicely done overall.
I do wish that they would showcase some of their other hardware (iMacs, Macbook Pros) and how they really stand out. An ad that combined the iPod and iMac (given how close they are in design) would be great.

You'd think they would, but I just don't get it... come on, Apple! I would love for them to advertise how easy iLife is.

Agreed.
I did see the commercial while watching Late Night with Conan O'Brien. This was, ironically, after I had bought his Finland episode only hours earlier from iTMS. Commerical worked though; I thought Apple immediately after it began.
Maybe this signals the end of the silhouette ads. Wouldn't bother me none. I liked them OK, but they were getting a little old...
