Check out the latest salvo fired by Sprint in the Palm Pre vs. iPhone battle.  I have to admit, I think this is a clever ad, especially the Palm Pre leaning against a apple core.  Now, I have no idea whether any of the claims in this ad are accurate or even effective (though the math on that $1200 over two years seems pretty close).  But it is nice to see that both Sprint and Palm are not dead yet.

This is very funny, because it’s true, and considering lot’s of us are on plans that we don’t fully utilise, or for that matter completely understand, physical measures like this are probably realistic options, to help minimise our mobile expenditure!!

av u got ur sped tokking down pat, like your speed texting language?

This may seem a bit off topic, but advertising is the spice of life at the moment for me.  I find myself keeping track of lot’s of clever video that advertise everything from blenders to mobile phone plans, and they are getting better and better.

Luckily enough I’ve not been burdened with the legacy of children, but I know that if I had, I’d be as protective as all get out, to the point of psycho as the dad in this T – Mobile ad!

An old concept but still funny, and I’m sure a lot of Dads out there will relate!

You have to love the way Mac and PC users are loyal, to their OS and hardware of choice. Although I’ve never actually seen a beat down between users, although I would liken it to jelly wrestling, it would have the same sort of morbid appeal.

Apple’s Mac v PC ads set a standard, and of late MS have been taking a marketing tack to counter, Apples efforts to humiliate their OS. There have been some likeable inclusions in the  PC Hunter series of ads from MS, but even more amusing are the independent responses to the campaign.

Considering that I work with people like this on a daily basis this struck a chord with me!

A beautifully satirical comeback to the campaign, although, it lacks the concentrated design efforts of Steve Jobs, it’s well done, and should really make us all think about how seriously we take ourselves!

The advertising war between MS and Apple has provided much amusement and quite a few laughs over the years. With the advent of the "I’m a PC" campaign we saw MicroSoft seemingly take off the gloves and start to crack back at Apple’s "Mac / PC" comparison adds.

I just loved the feel of this ad, and the  joy at a great deal!

How ever cool a device is it only really satisfies if it matches the users needs, not social standing!
