Ad: New York loves the iPhone
And forgive me if I'm reading a little too much into this, but how cool is all of this? It's 2007, and we're going to be walking around carrying little multitouch screens with "no buttons." Say what you will about the whole "Sweet Solution" fiasco, but dude-- we're living the future.

Or so says this ad. Mac Rumors isn't sure what the deal is on this either, but this unofficial ad by Alec Sutherland, Anthony Hechanova,...

Regarding Post #11:
Well, apparently, there's two kinds of people in the world*: trolls and fanboys.
(*or at least, in this thread.)
Personally, the iPhone sounds interesting (except for the the price tag), but I am a little disturbed at seeing quite this much drooling going on over a product that people don't even have in their hands yet.
New York - the biggest little town in the wolrd - what diversity and grace and wonderful people - love McSorley's and THE Park and so much more...
A well designed ad. Nice. Sweet. I  NY :)
If you don't get it, you won't.
And I live in Australia.
Concerning post #9:
If it looks like a troll and smells like a troll...
I don't see how this ad is anything exciting.

With other mobile devices, it wasn't that the pig could sing well it was that the pig could sing at all. Now Apple makes a pig that can really carry a tune. and that's cool!
BTW the comercial is GREAT. It's all about communication. Although we may speak different languages we're all talking about the same thing.
Dude, I totally agree. This is an amazing time to be alive.
BTW -- does anyone else think the iPhone is the next step closer to the Knowledge Navigator videos Apple did in the 80s?
The whole thing about flipping through the album covers in iTunes, and now with your finger on iPhone totally reminds me of that. It's like Apple is slowly but surely moving in that direction.
Think about it. We're not too far away from a device like that which was dreamed about in KN being a reality.
Voice recognition ... check.
On board camera ... check.
OCR ... check.
Text to speech ... check.
Natural hand-based UI ... check.
Search for almost any info you could ever want (google) ... check.
IP Phone ... check.
A.I. Assistants for everything from info access to communications (widgets) ... check.
And to think - Apple got blasted for those videos.....

i don't know which is worse -- the wait for the iphone, or the ever-increasing blather of the steve jobs/apple/mac/iphone haters, though!
In the year two thooouuusaaand....
