Drats! You beat me to it! I saw it on Fox 5 NYC during a commercial break for "So you think you can dance?"
(Don't ask, I didn't choose to watch that show)
Very cool ads. I'm currently testing iPhone for my enterprise and am very excited about alot of the ActiveSync push features.

I love the little song they play in the background. Anyone know if this off an actual album song or is it something that they made specifically for the commercial?

Here's the Aussie version of the commercials: http://www.apple.com/au/iphone/gallery/ads/
They appear a little differently on TV. At the end, you either have the Optus, Vodafone, or Telstra logos appearing.

...and some people will like draining the battery-twice as fast.

Battery lifehad always been an issue that Jobs brought up about 3G. Not only does Apple acknnoldge this and there is an option to turn it off in addition the new iPhone's battery life isn't HORRIBLE.

when you write an event on the CALANDER on the iPhone, it is always Gray, how does it know to get the right colour when its sync to the computer?
It works great with the colors when you do it from the compute to the phone but not from the phone to the calander on the computer...

At the top of the Calendar app there is a left arrow button that says "Calendars". If you tap on that you will see a list of different calendars that you have created at home and their associated colors. For instance, my 'Work' calendar is green. If I tap on the "Calendars" button, select my work calendar and make a new entry it will be part of my 'Work' calendar and green
Same thing goes for contacts. You can't edit the groups directly from the iPhone, but if you select a group first and make a new contact it will be a member of that group.
Hope this helps

They are quick to point out in these commercials that everything happens twice as fast. Although I can't speak for the iPhone crowd as I'm a Touch owner.. But man that back up.. Ugh! Makes syncing more than twice as slow!

You know you can cancel the backup by clicking on the X when you hover over the info bar on top....
Devon said 7:17AM on 7-24-2008
And the battery drains twice as fast too! Sorry I couldn't help it :)
Well it doesn't for me with 2.0 on the original phone but with 3G phones, that's what I hear.

Anyone notice in the Work Friendly add she opens up a file called Market Forcecast.pages.zip at 00:15.
Maybe I haven't played around enough but I didn't think mail.app opened ZIP attachments.

iWork documents are stored in zip files with the images etc used in the document in the zip file. I believe docx (Microsoft's new word format) is the same, just with a different extension. Apple chose filename.pages.zip, Microsoft chose filename.docx.
Obviously the content of the zip files differs between iWork and Office.
Grant Wall said 2:41AM on 7-24-2008
Actually, any .pages file, is oddly a pages.zip, however on OSX the .zip is hidden, as if you try to view any .pages file on windows, it appears as pages.zip, the zip, contains the actual files as well as embedded items.

Just to point it out since you said "oddly", a .pages file is a container, it contains other files. If you try to send a .pages file in gmail it won't let you, since it sees it as a folder (you can't send folders in an email). For that reason, they zip it up before sending it.

Not too bad, and not nearly as gratingly obnoxious as the "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC" ads if they're going to continue using the same ad concept. :) I'm pretty sure I could make out the massive air quotes when he said "half the price", too. Poor voiceover guy...I at least hope he isn't Canadian.

Do they tell you that you cannot sync Outlook if it is pulling from an Exchange Server?

Wish my iPhone worked as fast as the one in the commercial. Where can I get one of those? Whenever I press Contacts it takes about 10 seconds to respond.
