With its QNX-based BB10 devices scheduled for release only in the second half of this year, RIM has a lot of advertising to do to drive interest to its existing product line. Canadian company is doing just that.
Take a look at RIM’s latest series of advertising highlighting the BlackBerry Bold 9900 and what some would consider the platform’s best assets, but would expressions like “I’m about action, not distraction” and “we need tools, not toys” sway you to the Bold side?
Take a look at the ads past the jump and let us know what you think. Oh, and if you’re wondering, the silly superheroes are omitted in the ads, thankfully.
As for us, we’re not thoroughly convinced. The ads come across as trying too hard and honestly, the faster RIM gets their BB10 devices into the market, the better. We so want to believe, RIM. Make us believe.
Ok, then again, maybe not, but here’s an interesting ad from Snapdragon for you to watch.

In this never before release video, Steve Jobs lends his voice to what is probably one of the most iconic advertisements of our time — one that perfectly encapsulates his maverick and visionary spirit.
Stay hungry and foolish everyone because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.
The version that was air is available after the jump if you want to take a look at that as well.
Nokia has just released a series of six-9 second ads to showcase the various features of the Nokia N9 on its YouTube channel. Each video offers clues to what you’ll see in the next one.
The official description says:
Nokia N9 Seconds is a series of 6 ultra quick and interlinked videos. Each 9 second video highlights a Nokia N9 feature with rapid cuts and edits. That’s 6 ads in less than 60 seconds.
Rapid cuts and edits indeed.
Five more videos for you to go “WTH” at right after the jump.
Actually, this is one of the best ads for any product we’ve ever seen. It’s is worth every second of your three minutes. Watch it.
What is the add about? We don’t want to spoil it for you, so if you want more details about the phone in the ad, head on over to after the jump.
After the weird Xperia Play Donor ad and the even weirder series of ads featuring Kristen Schaal, Sony Ericsson has finally come to their senses and puts out perfectly normal TV commercial for the Xperia Play. We approve.
Wonder when this is coming to Malaysia.
Head to after the jump for another Xperia Play commercial in the same series
This ad moved us so much that we just got to share it. From the suspense built-up to the expression on the guy’s face as he delivers the punchline, it’s just perfect!

In typical DiGi fashion, this latest Chinese New Year tribute ad from the telco is trademark cheeky, what else can you expect from the telco that gave us the lovable and unforgettable Yellow Coverage Fellow?
Head on over to after the jump to view the ad. One thing that’s got us curious is the obvious appearance of a white coverage fellow in the ad. We’re not sure what it means but is DiGi trying to clue us in on something here? Its a long shot but could it be a symbol for the year of the rabbit?
The only other time we saw a white coverage fellow was in the DiGi roaming ad, the one that featured Japan as a roaming destination. Remember that ad? Well if you don’t its available for viewing after the jump. Though we don’t think that there’s any correlation.
Anyone can decipher what the appearance of the white coverage fellow means? Or are we just over analyzing things? Comment us!
Anyways, we always look forward to these festive ads, wonder what Maxis has in store?

The biggest news in the US the past week was the iPhone 4′s launch on Verizon’s network. It’s big news because, previously the iPhone was the exclusive domain of AT&T in the US and while many adore the device, a number of others blasted the AT&T network for poor data service and call connections. Americans didn’t have a choice. Like it or not, if they wanted an iPhone, they had to sign-up with AT&T. So it is understandable that a new operator offering the iPhone is a big deal in a mobile market as big as the US.
The thing that caught our attention is Apple’s treatment of this situation, it’s obvious in the ad that you’ll see after the jump that Apple’s stance is simple — choice is good and you can never have too much of a good thing. And that’s awesome. We like that approach.
Now in Malaysia, unlocked iPhones and the option to choose between three operators that offer the device is nothing new, it’ll be nice however to see similar types of ads running in Malaysia. Don’t you think?

Here’s a funny ad by Newsday that offers digital news subscription. With the iPad having heaps of digital content at your disposal, it can be considered a direct print replacement. Or is it?
Watch the video after the jump
