most folks I know of with 2 phones have a berry of some flavor hooked into some corporate enterprise messaging dealy and another phone they got on their own dime. Iphone doesnt do jack for this because as far as I know its not hip to Exchange/BES etc.
Apple is pretty forthright in saying its not aimed at enterprise usage. Which makes one wonder if they have a blackberry killer in the wings? C'mon RIM isnt a very hip company, apple could be all over them if they tried. And Palm is going over to windows mobile.

Hmm, those were pretty poorly cobbled together, but they did make people whose supposedly bought iphones look stupid. I'm so torn, do I hate it for it's lack of funny, or love it for making apples fanboys look like tools?

@bbfreak: texting is a life saver. say your somewhere where you can't talk. class, meeting, loud concert/party. A text is a silent way to communicate. i don't know about you, but i don't carry my computer with me, and a really really long ethernet cable.

I thought the ads were great. The first one's so funny.

@freeway8989:

Fair enough although the problem with these videos, as has been pointed out, is their inherent lameness more than their Appley origins.

The fact that the Apple tie-in bothers the Applephobics, a group that has recently become more militarized than Apple fanboys, Greenpeace, North Korea, and Ellen De Generes all rolled into one, should not steer Giz from covering Apple for the rest of us.

Like many of you, I am Amish, and I believe I speak for the Amish among us when I say GIZMODO: please do not let these Apple haters steer you off mission! (posted from my non-jail-broken iPhone).

IndustrialJones — Sun, 11 Nov 2007 06:43:41 EST

They should do a parody of these ads showcasing the iPhone's lack of certain features. For example, "I took this great picture of my kids with my iPhone and I was going to send it to my mom as a MMS, but uhm yeah... I can't."

NightBlade — Sun, 11 Nov 2007 03:51:31 EST

The ads are UTTERLY lame!
I mean, they just showcase these people's inability to properly invest money in a phone that actually covers their losses optimally. (in terms of reliability and features)

Seriously Gawker should have an Apple specific blog, they would definitely be able to compete with the other ones out there, and Gadget sites like Gizmodo wouldn't have to concentrate as much on iEtc.

Just a suggestion, so don't jump on me MS/Apple fanboyz

minotauri — Sat, 10 Nov 2007 22:17:16 EST

these apple commercials really bug the heck out of me (not these specific parodies, but the real ones). they have brain dead people talking about random gibberish. Does someone really have say a blackberry to text and email and then another phone for voice calls? come on... I have two cell phones, but one is for work and one is personal. they both do text messaging and voice (surprise).

anyway, apple likes to rip off all sorts of stuff for their ads, and this one is a big rip off of the Radio Shack holiday commercials for the past year or two.

Charles — Sat, 10 Nov 2007 19:38:44 EST

@Dearhaw: Because he is trying to justify the iPhone by saying, for some incredibly illogical reason, the phone he used for texting and emails was not good enough to answer calls on. Not only that, but Apple decided that that was a valid argument and made a commercial out of it.

He also says, "I just get up, grab my iPhone, hop in my car and go," oddly forgetting his keys.
So there are other reason to dislike him.
