New iPhone ads appear, bring joy and good cheer

Wow - this has to be the most useless drivel I've ever read on TUAW. How you managed to squeeze out 3 paragraphs about new ads is beyond me. Obviously, you guys are about quantity now instead of quality.

Here's a tip - if there is nothing to post about in the Apple world... then don't post.

"As these commercials so ably show, the iPhone isn't just one product, it's thousands of products." - Really?

"The good news is that after stopping by MacDailyNews I discovered that there are a total of three new iPhone commercials available for your viewing pleasure; all without having to interrupt any commercial-skipping." - Wow! That IS good news.

Use this site to tell us stuff we don't already know instead of explaining how the apps make the iPhone neat'er.

You know, I did the exact same thing. Watching House, skipped through commercial, hang on! What's that app? Rewind. OH WOW! I could use that!

"the iPhone isn't just one product, it's thousands of products. Thanks to the App Store, the iPhone and iPod Touch have become a tour de force of gaming, productivity, networking, and so forth. The success has become so ubiquitous that I am even willing to watch a commercial to learn of new applications that could enhance my life."

Oh wow, I like purchasing Apple branded products as much as the next guy, but perhaps you are taking this just a bit too far. This reads as if it's some sort of SNL skit parody (if it is, then my hat is off to you!).

What was the shipping label program they showed in that same commercial?

The only downside, for us Canadians, is that CC Terminal is 'not currently available in the Canadian store' :(

Anyone know of a similar app that IS available up here?

My favorite part of this article was where the "reporter" went to an in related news site for information, and invited all of us to go there too for the "scoop."

Isn't that what people came to tuaw for in the first place? What did this article offer me? News? No. The inanity of a new apple commercial aside, you told us you went somewhere else first. Opinion? Not really. You told us that you rely on new ads to learn about apps. A link to House? Yes. Increase your post count? Yes. Dilute tuaw's signal to noise ratio? Yes.

Oh, for the quality posts of erica sadun...

I noticed the new commercials on Monday night. They are interesting applications targeted at specific groups of people (with just enough wow-factor to impress everyone else).

Even though I use the App Store and internet every day, it still took me over 15 minutes to figure out what the apps were from the ads and bring them up in the App Store interface.

I couldn't believe the reviews of those apps on the store...all were almost universally negative. I thought they would have highlighted some well-received apps instead of buggy, pseudo-working apps. Oh well, they got me to look things up on the App store, so they win.

God, I love apple as much as the next guy but you stopped fast forwarding through commercials just to watch an iPhone spot?

A little OT, but Sprint's new advertising campaign actually got noticed by my wife and friend. They really kinda nailed it including the pass at Twitter. I'm sure this is part of their ramp up to the pre and it should be a good summer for dueling advertising between the iPhone mark III and the Palm pre; I'm sure the ads will be better than some of the prime time programming they offer.

"Despite the fact that I was watching this particular episode on my DVR, I stopped fast-forwarding through the commercials so I could catch the latest Apple showcase of iPhone applications."

Why can't TUAW bloggers edit yourselves?

"For many people, if you've seen one commercial for a given product, then you've seen all the commercials you need to see. Not so with iPhone. As these commercials so ably show, the iPhone isn't just one product, it's thousands of products. Thanks to the App Store, the iPhone and iPod Touch have become a tour de force of gaming, productivity, networking, and so forth. The success has become so ubiquitous that I am even willing to watch a commercial to learn of new applications that could enhance my life."

Seriously, why can't TUAW bloggers edit themselves?
