Thats quite a good advert, makes want to visit the website and it will hopefully make Apple stand up and take note.
I had the opposite reaction. It's soooo misguided. Their attempt to play off the Apple aesthetic really backfires, because we all hear the light music and the bright ad and then think "Apple". Then they show a weird, dark, distorted graphic that represents (visually) the sharp distinction between iPhone and Droid. I'm left with the impression that Droid is some dark knight of the cell phone world. I guess that's cool if you're a member of Gwar, but as a normal person I just want a light, nice phone that is easy to use.
But the worst of all of this is that there's no details about what Droid is. I realize its a "teaser", but to my mind this is the single biggest misfire. They're trashing the iphone with vaporware.
If they want to beat Apple at Apple's game, they need to send pre-production units out to tech writers and collection some buzzy, quote-worthy commentary. Who cares about bullet points on a spec? Apple's success has been based on the end-to-end experience, which includes syncing with itunes, the amazing SDK, etc.
Also, as cool as the phone may be (and I have much respect for Google and open source software) -- if Verizon locks it down like they do with everything else, then its already a disaster. If Verizon didn't employ such anti-competitive practices, they would already have the iPhone and everything would be right in the world.
Anyway, I would never go back to verizon anyway. Good network or not, I had a terrible time with their customer service.
