New iPad ad campaign revisit Apple’s old Newton ads
May 18th
If you don’t follow me on Twitter, which you should, you’ll know that I am the arrogant-seeming owner of an iPad. “Oh, gosh, you have an iPad?” is what people say when they hear me speaking about “my iPad.” You just heard me say, “My iPad,” so why the hell would you ask if I have one; other than to be condescending to let me know your disgust for said device?
My response to them is, “You don’t?” in the same condescending tone. Prick. Yes, I have an iPad. It’s a great piece of technology with a lot of possibilities and I’m an early adapter. Somehow that always makes me feel like Martin in the “Suspicious Minds Episode.” If not the iPad itself, being a first generation product, isn’t the next big thing then it definitely is one big stepping stone.
Its fast processor is already going to be used in the next iPhone –which I will also get– and people are already putting iPads in cars and doing all kind of things to them by way of jailbreak. Technology is crazy. Crazy great.
Let’s get back to the campaign. It’s a nod to an old Palm-type device called the Newton. I was too young to care for a Newton but, in a nutshell, it’s like an iPad that would be perfect for Zack Morris.
The new “What is iPad” ads are eerily reminiscent of the “What is Newton” ads of the ’90s. The voice of the announcer is rougher than the voices of Apple’s other ads. I like it. It’s taking a dominating stance rather than just showing how useful it can be.
