The iPhone ads may be boring and matter-of-fact, but you know the second that hand pops up on a white screen "THIS IS AN IPHONE COMMERCIAL." Establishing a brand is key in marketing, and I don't see dancing monks selling a phone. Microsoft is going thru the same problems now, as well. They don't have a branding plan, they're throwing out 6 year olds, laptop hunters, and whatever else they can think of to establish a plan.

Hopefully Palm has a plan, because I just saw 48 seconds of dancing in a field, 10 seconds of the phone, and 2 seconds of a Palm logo. That ain't selling nothin!

I agree with you completely here, this ad (to me at least) is a complete failure. It's my opinion and I'm entitled to it! It does absolutely nothing to establish a brand for Palm or the Pre for that matter. It's not iconic and not particularly memorable either, I believe the ads on the Palm website are far, far more effective than this rehash of a tourism ad.

@ Get Gad, you can Get Lost! You may think the iPhone ads are boring, but 17 million plus people didn't think so. 1 Billion app downloads! I wonder how that happened? You really think Palm are gonna get that many downloads with advertising like that?! If you do, you need your head tested.]]>Jun 4th 2009 7:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-latest-palm-pre-ad-makes-poppies-seem-brutish/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-latest-palm-pre-ad-makes-poppies-seem-brutish/Jun 4th 2009 1:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-latest-palm-pre-ad-makes-poppies-seem-brutish/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-latest-palm-pre-ad-makes-poppies-seem-brutish/Jun 4th 2009 1:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-latest-palm-pre-ad-makes-poppies-seem-brutish/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-latest-palm-pre-ad-makes-poppies-seem-brutish/Jun 4th 2009 1:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-latest-palm-pre-ad-makes-poppies-seem-brutish/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-latest-palm-pre-ad-makes-poppies-seem-brutish/Jun 4th 2009 1:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-latest-palm-pre-ad-makes-poppies-seem-brutish/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-latest-palm-pre-ad-makes-poppies-seem-brutish/Jun 4th 2009 1:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-latest-palm-pre-ad-makes-poppies-seem-brutish/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-latest-palm-pre-ad-makes-poppies-seem-brutish/Jun 4th 2009 11:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-latest-palm-pre-ad-makes-poppies-seem-brutish/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-latest-palm-pre-ad-makes-poppies-seem-brutish/Jun 4th 2009 1:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-latest-palm-pre-ad-makes-poppies-seem-brutish/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-latest-palm-pre-ad-makes-poppies-seem-brutish/Jun 4th 2009 1:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-latest-palm-pre-ad-makes-poppies-seem-brutish/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-latest-palm-pre-ad-makes-poppies-seem-brutish/My mind drifted back to Beijing '08 also.

Not a bad ad. Maybe it was meant to invoke the old 'Zen of Palm' feeling w/ a bit of tranquility or green in there.]]>Jun 4th 2009 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-latest-palm-pre-ad-makes-poppies-seem-brutish/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-latest-palm-pre-ad-makes-poppies-seem-brutish/Jun 6th 2009 12:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-latest-palm-pre-ad-makes-poppies-seem-brutish/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-latest-palm-pre-ad-makes-poppies-seem-brutish/Jun 4th 2009 1:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-latest-palm-pre-ad-makes-poppies-seem-brutish/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/video-latest-palm-pre-ad-makes-poppies-seem-brutish/
all this complicatedness with synergy and web os and gestures and glossy finish and media player syncing with itunes and facebook and myspace and twitter and short battery life are all the things I didn't want in my new Palm

Thank you Palm.. I've used your phones for the past 5 years and you just made me a new Blackberry customer
