Apple has posted a new iPad commercial to it’s YouTube account. The video helps answer the question most people ask about the iPad, why do you need one? What’s interesting is the comparison of this commercial to a commercial from Apple back in the 90′s for the Newton. Check out both commercials below.
Apple has released a new iPhone commercial – Family Man. The commercial highlights the ability for the iPhone 3GS to capture and playback video as well as a few applications from the App Store (see list below).
I don’t know about you but, this commercial is soooo true for us! The grandparents really do like to see the videos, I totally use my iPhone all the time for cooking, our kids love to play games and watch videos and Doug uses his for everything (I’ve seen that guy do some pretty crazy things from his iPhone)… I’m pretty sure it never leaves his hands.

Another new iPhone 3GS commerical – Backpacker – was released by Apple. This commerical highlights Hostelworld (Free) and Jibbigo Speech Translator
($24.99)… as well as a few stock application. Read more
Doug just downloaded iCam today and it’s pretty cool… I’m totally using it to watch my three year old while he is taking his nap (or at least he is supposed to be!). Read more
This iPhone Commercial – Shopper – shows the use of a few stock applications; Safari, MMS (picture messaging) and Maps. However, it also features one of my favorite applications… RedLaser (try it once and you will be hooked!).
“I know an espresso maker isn’t the most romantic gift but my wife really wanted one. So I did a little research. Asked her sister which color she’d like, and then I did a quick check to see if it was cheaper anywhere else. Turned out the best price was around the corner. I’m a much smarter and faster shopper with my iPhone”
This commercial features two applications Shazam and Local Concerts. Both are free apps in the App Store. Personally, I LOVE Shazam!
“I was out the other night and this great song came on. So I used my iPhone to figure out who the band was. Downloaded their album, right there. And the best part was, my iPhone even told me when they were coming to town. So, all I had to do was buy the tickets. I still don’t know how my iPhone does all that.”
Sprint is now advertising their 4G mobile hotspot called “Overdrive” to iPhone users to increase their speeds of their iPhone. This device is pretty sweet but there are some limitations and costs. As a new customer it’s $99 plus The battery only lasts 3 hours. Sprint claims 4G speeds up to 10 times faster than today’s 3G from any other national wireless carrier but they are comparing 3G’s lowest speed of 600k to 4G’s fastest speed of 6Mbps. Also, the 3G connection is limited to 5GB per month where as their 4G is truly unlimited. Now, where do they have 4G? There’s a Map for that!

Apple’s latest iPhone commercial, Family Travel, focuses on the iPhone’s ability in making “family travel” much more convenient.
“It’s unbelievable how much better family trips have gotten. Just last week I checked us in on the way to airport. Found the kids a snack near the gate. And even had their favorite movie ready to go. Then my husband turned to me and said, “Did we turn off the lights?” So we turned off the lights. And that’s why I don’t go anywhere without my iPhone.” Read more
Apple recently released “First Step,” an iPhone commercial displaying the ability to take, send and play video as well as the ability to conference call with ease.
“My son started walking the other day. Which was amazing. So I recorded it. Sent it to everyone, right away! Then we all jumped on the phone at once to talk about it. Which was kinda amazing too! We would never have shared all that without the iPhone.”
"It's kinda incredible. With the iPhone i don't even mind being on hold. I can check my email. Pay some bills. And when I hear "a representative will be with you shortly". I can even do this. I need my iPhone for well, everything."
Apple has recently released a new commercial titled “12 Days of Christmas.” The commercial is based on the classic Christmas song The 12 Days of Christmas and features 12 Holiday applications. Below is the commercial and the list of the apps featured in the commercial.
AT&T has recently released a few more commercials. Two of them are the typical Luke Wilson commercials comparing AT&T to Verizon and third (released today) gives statistics on AT&T’s overall network… it’s a little boring but, it does have some interesting numbers.
Big update to an app kinda like Photo Booth for the Mac.

When in Safari, you can quickly zoom in on images and columns of text with just one tap (well, one double tap)! If there is an image in a web page that you would like a closer look at, just double tap on the image and it will zoom in on that image.
