Dude…stop. You’re annoying.

I’m so sorry for going beyond the scope of the above article.

Ok..i’ll play along. It’s rather obvious and implied in my comments that Palm copied Apple. Happy? I only tried to point out that Apple’s commercial is hardly original itself. A guy showing off his phone as the camera zooms in on the screen.

Which led to me asking, how else would you be able to show what the Pre’s touchscreen could do? But then you whined like a little girl crying I don’t get it and struggled to criticize Palm for not being creative which apparently is the only thing that matters to you for some bizarre reason.

Uhh… dude… this article isn’t about whether or not the commercial is good, bad, for the masses, not for the masses, or a “wowing” ad. That’s YOUR argument.

The “ARTICLE” (see the one written above?) is ONLY about whether or not the commercial is original or copied from Apple. That’s it! Nothing else!

Again… you don’t get it.

@striatic:

I think Bell running an ad mocking the iPhone would burn about as many bridges with Apple as Microsoft has burned — none. But then again…??

so people can zoom AND move around a map? ZOMG! wow that’s so incredible! i mean zooming i can see but moving TOO!? .. AND IT ROTATES!? i might just faint. i can’t handle the awesomeness of the rotating map that moves.

then of course, after spending half the ad talking about amazingly innovative moving maps, they blow through the physical keyboard and multitasking nature of the device with barely a mention. using the super ugly web-based twitter client in close-up.

why not use something slicker, looking, like twee? http://www.twitterpowersystems.com/twitter-clients/twee-a-another-twitter-client-coming-to-palm-pres-app-catalog

or a non beta app like tweed would be better: http://palm.preapplications.net/tweed-twitter-app-for-the-palm-pre

no they couldn’t.

i mean, at some point the iphone might not be carrier exclusive in the US and Canada anymore.

bell wouldn’t want to shoot itself in the foot for when that happens.

also, running anti-iphone ads has been tried before and hasn’t worked.

@fastlane: Sorry dude, you don’t get it. People want to see what the phone can do, not how creative Palm can be. This is what got Palm into trouble when they created a borg queen commercial.

When you got a wow product, you wow em. If you’re selling corn, then you get creative..

Or, perhaps it’s for people w/o any original ideas of their own. They could have played off the multi-tasking angle and developed their own approach that would have made Apple jealous….

Yeah, right.

Must not play music and shoot close up video of a guy showing off a phone. Too similar to apple. I got it. Thanks..

No, you don’t “got it.”

Palm’s done absolutely nothing inappropriate or illegal toward Apple here. They’ve just made themselves look uncreative. That’s the only point of this article, and my comments.

Don’t go into advertising.

Any other ideas then? Having the Borg Queen snap her head around a few times muttering about jugglers? Brilliant!

come on now, really? lol you dont see the glaring rip off?
