iPod nano ads posted in gorgeous Quicktime 7 goodness

I haven't really been going through Apple's Quicktime 7 high-quality trailers in a while, but this is probably the first time I remember seeing the new H.264 codec truly fulfilling its quality + low file size promise.

Apple has posted the 30 second iPod nano TV ads in H.264 at both 480 and 640 resolutions, weighing in at mere 1.5 and 2.4 MB sizes. Can anyone else say "wow?"

This ad also makes me wonder: could Apple be dropping the silouette ads? I guess time will tell on that one. Bonus points for any TUAW reader who can point me towards the funky song used in this ad on the iTMS.
