New Windows Tablet Ad Again Uses Siri's Voice to Poke Fun at iPad

[Sheza]

"Oh. That's not cool."

Said Siri as she saw the price of the Xbox One compared to the PS4.

 

[gadget123]

The software will look more like Windows once they put IOS7 on the Ipad anyway so they can't push the Ipad screen and the icons won't move..

 

[Free fall]

Micro SD cards suck. They're too small.

 

[Kurri]

i think its a great ad, still not getting one though. but memorable and gets people talking.

 

[appleisking]

"I don't need it therefore nobody else does"?

An SD card slot would be incredibly useful in an iPad.

It's obvious why Apple wouldn't allow it, but you don't think it would be a good idea to be able to load some of your apps, or music, or a pile of movies, onto an SD card for a long trip? Or pop the card out of your camera to load up the photos into iPhoto (without the need for the third piece of hardware, the Camera Connection Kit)? Or load up Office documents to read and edit?

Cloud storage takes care of all that. People seem to forget the iPad does come with internal storage so you CAN actually store things on it

 

[kahkityoong]

And who the hell actually uses an SD card still? Only about a million other ways to store and transfer things

Wow. Epic fail.

 

[CristobalHuet]

Good lord. You can pinch to the homescreen with 4 fingers. Of course Microsoft would try and spin that you can't using their own gesture. /facepalm

The ads are clever though.

Still failing. You should learn to google.

What's the best way to look classy, modern and slick?

Go on the defence. Cool story Microsoft, now go and compare the Xbox One to a PS4.

 

[FSMBP]

Very classy, Microsoft.

Didn't Apple do the same exact type of commercials with Mac vs. PC campaign?

This has to be the worst ad ive ever seen. Oh you can zoom the start page wow so cool. And who the hell actually uses an SD card still? Only about a million other ways to store and transfer things

Apparently enough people that Apple makes an SD Card reader for iPad. Fanboy to the maximum...

 

[appleisking]

Care to elaborate

 

[Baumpie]

Oh, forgot to mention.. the device on your left is made by Apple.
Sorry Dell, you've lost this competition..

 

[rfahey]

Anyone who uses a real camera?

Camera Connection Kit: $29

People really need to learn how to think outside the box.

 

[Cougarcat]

They're gonna have to update the voice soon.

Ok fine, but you're using that and zooming to try to sell your product above the ipad..... That's not bad advertising?

 

[saving107]

SOOOOOOOOOOO cringeworthy seriously Microsoft?.....

Your avatar matches your comment so well

In regards to the topic, I have always liked ads that tell me what the product does, not what the competitor can't do. During an interview, up sell yourself, don't trash talk your opponent because then I have no idea what your worth and more than likely won't hire you.

And a feature in all their laptops.

 

[bassfingers]

Ah yes. SD cards. People will come flocking to those

 

[palmharbor]

made by Samsung

The windows product made by samsung is NOT intuitive...no intuitive way to close or quit an application. Windows/Microsoft does not believe in intuitive design...this seems to get ignored. Most Samsung Tablets are wifi ONLY>

 

[haydn!]

Limited time off.
Made of plastic.
Just a handful of apps.

Yup. I'll take one.

 

[CristobalHuet]

Ah yes. SD cards. People will come flocking to those

And removable batteries. And Flash.

 

[yakirtosh]

The bashing ads just dont convince me. And even if apple would have wanted to reply with another ad to this one, they could point out that sd cards can be compared to ancient artifacts that dont make sense in an apple device if you have icloud and 32/64/128 gig of storage. Even as someone here argued that it would help to eliminate a third gadget to connect between a camera, basically using the sd card to transfer their photos to the ipad: seriously? Nobody does that but you haha. A person with a regular camera also has a computer, therefor transferring his photos there, editing them and even then could have them available on the ipad thru photo stream. My point being, anything that is an addition to a product is simply aged and out. Apple intentionally wants to get away from all of these cd/dvd/bd drives and slots of whatever. Information thru the internet is the future, physical accessories are the past. And zoom in/out on the menu? B**** please, rather embarrassing

Under the line, this ad just proved microsoft lost on all fronts.

Cheers

*Yaaawwwnn*

Another attack ad from an Apple competitor...while Apple sits back and humbly makes the best products in the world.

 

[Tankmaze]

Huh, 399 dollars ey. That could be the selling point, too bad its not iOS.

Sony did stick one to MS didn't they? LOL
