New iTunes/iPod Television Ad

WOW.

THAT was odd. Literally the second I clicked on the bookmark to go to MacRumors, this commercial came on, and this thread was at the top of the page!!
 
The 2nd Ad (the first rock ad) has also been released in 15 and 45 second versions, and both of the previous two have now been officially modified to include the text that has been on the ads when they run on TV (iPod + iTunes, Now For Windows).

I like the new one. I like them all.
 
i liked it, it was real good. i like the unremixed version more but it wouldnt be as upbeat. I think apple needs to get a rap one with some 50 cent or Jay z or something.

For Windows...

I liked it better when the tag at the end said Mac and Windows, the For Windows tag was a little strange.
 
I like that shoe shot on the green background in the very beginning. Apple sure knows how to make upbeat and cool ads (and they're finally starting to put their web address in them, too!).

It says "Now for Windows", not just "For Windows". I think that implies that it's for Mac as well. :)

True, but I still prefer the Mac and Windows tag at the end.
 
i like this one the best, but something bothers me. the dancing just doenst seem to fit with the song as well as the first 2 did. still, i like this one the best.
 
I liked this one the best so far. I also would have liked for Macintosh and Windows instead of just for Windows.
 
Is it just me, or is the music in this one really loud? I heard some clipping, even when I turned it down. I hope the broadcast version sounds better than the QT version.
 
The version of the song I found was the best I could do at the time. If anyone has info on the actual version played in the ad, let me know.

Overall, a hit

The music and dancing didn't match, as have been noted, but it was still great. This whole ad campaign is pretty darn good. I'm glad to see that they provided a URL this time!
 
Radio Ads

Anyone else out there notice Apple has put a lot more radio ads out for the iPod and iTunes music store?

The original song sucks and so does the remix. Bad Bad Bad.

Well, that's why you're not marketing Apple's products...

Bands like Jet, Black Eyed Peas, and N.E.R.D. are very hip, very "now", and exactly what Apple needs to say "we're on the leading edge of things."

:)
 
Not on iTMS??

How crazy is it that this song (at least the remix they use in the ad) is not available at the iTMS? Come on Apple, you know your devotees want to have the latest "theme song" on their iPods!! I ended up downloading the entire Jet album after the last ad. Don't see that happening with N.E.R.D., but that remix rocks!!

Just THIS WEEK they finally added the Propellerheads "Take California" which was the original iPod dancing guy song from a couple years back...finally able to replace my Limewired version with the real thing!
 
The song in the ad is indeed the remixed version of "Rock Star" by N.E.R.D.

The remix is done by Jason Nevins and is on the Blue Crush soundtrack...

I got the same error, but the neptunes cd is no where near as good as the N.E.R.D cd.

Um, I wouldn't call N.E.R.D. "very now." They aren't anything new, or leading edge, the way the BEP are or Jet.

I liked the Jet ad the best, it's just so catchy. This one is pretty good though.
