Please do not send electronic reply telling me you got this message. I would very much appreciate the name of the music and composer of the new iphone commercial. Where can I obtain a copy of the music.
The phone is great and the music is great.
Thank you, Dale Meyerhoff 410-585-1273 fax or email

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Longhorn, I'm SO glad I'm not the only one who noticed that! That was definitely hilarious. Having worked on Lost, I know the Art department uses Macs exclusively, so it's no surprise if it WAS intentional.
