I like them, Im sorry you don't!



I don't really understand or care about these put downs of the palm pre commercials anymore. I actually think the commercials deliver a great relaxing atmosphere for the pre's deliverance on their brand. I hear so many people(not just apple fan boys) that claim they don't like it because it doesn't really focus on what the phone does. Umm, yes it does! Every commercial give a great side by side comparison of life and art( or the pre's functions). To my knowledge unless I'm wrong hear or am the only person that has been paying attention, the pre or palm's effort on the phone is to show the multitasking of the phone. This is the bread and butter of the phone. There is nothing else it does that sets itself apart from the other phones. And even that is something that the likes of the Google phones and android does somewhat too, just not like the cards additions of the Pre. So if this is the only trick you do that sets you apart from the rest then the commercials ,each one of them do talk about the phones functions. This direction isn't new. You can go all the way back to the commercials of the motorola Q, and probably further than that. None of those commercials really showed or focused on the functions of the phone but rather played attention of the functions while putting focus on the world around it. So where does all this negativity come from then? Once again from Apple. People looked at the commercials of the apple and again assumed that because their commericals where just function talks then EVERY smart-phone commercial out there had to be just like apple if it was to be considered successful. And then if the phone does mimic apple's brainwashing then they fail again because all people will say is that it's copying off apple and that they should have come up with their own commercial style. People say give me this , give me that but when they get it they aren't satisfied still.
