Latest iPad commercial for your viewing pleasure

No word yet on when the iPad will hit the many Machines and Epicentre stores here. Rumours were buzzing that WiFi iPads could be in Malaysian stores as early as July and the 3G versions will be sold by telcos.

It’s now nearing September and there’s still no sign of the iPad, WiFi or 3G, making an appearance here.

While many would be iPad hopefuls still cling on the hope that one day official iPads will be sold here in Malaysia, let us all enjoy the latest iPad ad to hit the web.

Though not as adept at tugging at your heartstrings as the iPhone 4 FaceTime ad, this new iPad app does pretty well in giving you a good picture of what the device can go.

Take a look after the jump.

Nokia X3 Touch and Type launched

Nokia has revealed the X3 Touch & Type that offers a 2.4″ QVGA touch screen and a 12-button keypad. According to Nokia’s SVP of Design, the keypad is great for single handed texting while the touch screen offers the easiest control on the interface, giving users the best of both worlds.

This “Hybrid” input device has dimension of 106mm x 48mm x 9.6mm which makes it one of Nokia’s slimmest devices to date. It also just weights a tiny 78g. On the technical aspects, the device offers 3G/HSPA, WiFi 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth, FM Radio and a 5MP Camera which are pretty standard for today’s phone. However we find it odd that they left out bluetooth and GPS which should come standard with in a phone like this.

The device runs on Symbian Series 40 Touch & Type edition and for storage, it has a removable microSD slot that supports up to 16GB. The X3 Touch and Type comes in 5 vibrant colours – White Silver, Dark Metal, Petrol Blue, Pink and Lilac.

Design wise, the X3 Touch and Type is simple yet sleek with a brushed aluminium finish for the back. On the front, keypad however is slightly different with the typical last row keys such as hash, asterix and zero moved to the right most column.

The X3 Touch and Type is expected go retail by this quarter at about €125 (approximately RM500). It will released first in China, Ireland & UK, Russia, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Germany, Spain, Portugal, France, Mexico, Saudi & Yemen. Other countries are to be released later.

New iPhone 4 ads focuses on FaceTime, makes you smile

Apple has just released its latest ads for the iPhone 4 and it focuses specifically on FaceTime.

When we saw the first iPhone 4 commercial, it was like, wow! It was probably one of the best ads we’ve seen for a gadget.

While these just released set of four ads from Apple is probably not as good as the first one, it still manages to make us smile, we’re pretty sure you will too.

In a word, we like em’ all.

But as feel good as the commercials make you feel, it still doesn’t hide the fact that FaceTime only works iPhone 4 to iPhone 4 and you will need to make the call over a WiFi network.

Head on over to after the jump to see the full set.

DiGi: On the net, consistency rules

DiGi has just released a new TV commercial to promote its broadband offerings and there’s a lot to like about this ad.

The message is clear and the visuals are warmly attention grabbing. It’s simple and it works.

You’re not left confused with what is the point of the ad and what is it trying to sell, it’s not over selling and it doesn’t suck you into a mindless show of song and dance that detracts you from the product promise.

In the ad, DiGi is saying that its mobile broadband services delivers consistency. It’s a solid proposition and doesn’t beat around the bush. We like it for that.

As to DiGi’s mobile broadband performance, let’s just say that when it’s good, it’s good, though coverage is still patchy. If you need 3G and falling back on EDGE is not an option, then, you’ll find that sometimes DiGi does leave you hanging more than the rest at the moment.

Having said that, virtual pats on the backs of the people that made this ad happen. Good stuff.!

Check out the ad after the jump.

Apple FaceTime commercial: This is one bloody good commercial

You can say whatever you want about Apple. You can go on and on about how the iPhone is not feature packed enough and there are phones out there with bigger screens and whatever, but one thing you can’t deny about the geeks at Cupertino is that when they get something right, boy do they get it right.

We don’t know about you guys but this advertisement about the iPhone 4 FaceTime calling feature just got to us. The images completely and wholesomely tell the story. The point gets across loud and clear. The soundtrack is just perfect. We simply can’t find anything wrong with this ad. It’s just so fulfilling to watch.

Make no mistake, we’re not openly declaring ourselves Apple fanboys here but we’re not wrong either in saying that this is one of the most powerful ads you’ve seen.

Having said that, we’re still not too happy that FaceTime is only possible over a WiFi connection. Perhaps there could be a reason for that, we’ll just have to try it out for ourselves to know for sure.

In the meantime, head on over to after the jump to view the Apple FaceTime commercial.

iPad’s latest ad says it’s better than you

Check out the latest iPad ad. If you’ve been watching loads of Apple ads, you’ll notice that this one is straight up in your face. It’s downright condescending even.

The ad opens with a question: “What is iPad?”, then the voice over goes on and on about how awesome the iPad is.

“iPad is thin, iPad is beautiful. iPad goes anywhere and lasts all day…” bla bla bluergh!

We don’t like the tone and we’re not too comfortable with the way Apple’s pitching the iPad.

We’ve used it and yes, its awesome but Apple didn’t have to go make an ad to state the obvious. Apple products are beyond this heavy handed marketing. Apple ads are more subtle, more inteligent, more delectable, more memorable and something you’d want to watch.

This one is not.

We find it to be downright disgusting, too boastful and in your face. Shame on you Apple, shame on you too Jobs.

Check out the video after the jump.

“Microsoft was supposed to be the evil one, but now Apple is busting down doors in Palo Alto while Bill Gates rids the world of mosquitoes. What the f**k is going on?” Asks Daily Show’s Jon Steward.

Has Apple gone too far with the whole iPhone HD/4G? Did they went “all Minority Report” on the Gizmodo guy?

Apple may have lost the plot but whatever it is, come Jun 7 when the new iPhone greets the world, everybody will probably want one ,

Check out the video after the jump. OMG it’s hilarious!
