Kind of a side-note: I found this comercial very difficult to follow. Not sure if this is only on the web, or if it's on TV as well, but a casual observer (i.e. comercial is on the background, not really paying attention) will find it very difficult to follow the comercial's message. Two different pictures for each set, two different statements popping up and rotating. A lot going on in this comercial.
And this brings up a frustration that keeps growing inside of me. I bought the Nexus One the day it was released. I now have the Nexus S. I'm a Google fanboy most definitely. But after two years of evangelizing Android, Apple just keeps wiping the floor with Android. Take the new notification center, for example. It is a virtual copy of Androids, except it's gorgeous. Absolutely beautiful. In my opinion, Siri offers a better value prop now than Goog's voice recognition. All we have to brag about now is the turn by turn navigation? (Which is awesome, by the way). Even Apple's commercials are better! I was never jealous of iPhone owners, but that is definitely changing. Here's to hoping the Ice Cream Sandwich packs quite a punch.
- Tichy 15y agoiphone 4s was only announced yesterday. It is normal that the latest phone has the "best" features. The next Android will probably wipe the floor with the iPhone again.
- mladenkovacevic 15y agoI kinda liked it...cute, non-pretentious, but still promises something epic. The message is "Some things go great together.. something big is coming" I don't mean to feed the rumor mill... but a lot of people see a second device in that footage. Perhaps a curved-screen tablet that the Nexus docks into.
- mladenkovacevic 15y agoBut yeah if you just want a device that will make you feel like your peers envy/admire you.. then maybe get whatever Apple makes. Or you could just disconnect a couple of wires of your ego from the collective opinion of your friends or acquaintances.
- guywithabike 15y agoIf he wanted a device that would make him feel special, wouldn't he just get an Android phone? The puerile discussion going on on Hacker News about the iPhone 4S seems to indicate that if you like iPhones, you're a blind idiot sheep and if you like Anddroid phones, you're a super cool elite master of technology.
- mladenkovacevic 15y agook breathe..i don't know what discussions are suggesting this nor do i have the time or willpower to judge strangers' personlities and IQ levels based on what piece of hardware they prefer. im just saying that he might get a more positive response to an iPhone which generally has more hype/marketing around it which gives it the social advantge of more people knowing about it and being intrigued by it.
- ceejayoz 15y agoI don't think there's more marketing around the iPhone than Android - I see more ads for Android devices these days - but it may be substantially more successful marketing.
