Apple posts iPhone 'Hello' ad

We posted about the iPhone ad which appeared last night during the Oscars, but it was no where to be found on Apple's website. Now you can enjoy the ad in glorious QuickTime (HD to boot).
I, for one, find it interesting that the word 'iPhone' appears no where in the ad.

They showed a bunch of clips from famous movie in the ad (Ex back to the future, Meet the Fockers ) does that mean they will be available in itunes?

love the ad, stoked for the iphone.
here's a direct link to the "HD" version from apple: http://movies.apple.com/movies/us/apple/iphone/hello/apple-hello_848x496.mov
(got this from piecing together the .js file that generates it at http://www.apple.com/iphone/scripts/hello.js which is referenced from the video playback page
The only thing I thought of when I saw the commercial was, "They renamed the iPhone to 'Hello'???"

Just how exactly did it accomplish that? The only reason anyone would feel that way, is if they were already excited about the phone to begin with. Taking a bunch of clips from movies and mashing them together does not make a great ad.

The song on the advert is 'Inside your head' by Icelandic band 'Eberg'.
