Hopefully they will have something later that touts its heavy advantages of being open. This commercial is for the simple people who are only technical enough to know about Google’s search engine.

It describes the way I use my 3G connection today. And I think many of the ordinary folks can relate to that. (does a shark have eyelids? What´s really in a hot dog? etc.) Although i concur with you that they could have empathized why the G1 would do this better than other devices. Maybe that will come in the future commercials. Anyway thank you for the article! Keep it up! Greetz Android-Freak.Org I liked the commercial very much. It describes the way I use my 3G connection today.

Still, I don't think they did enough to help differentiate the G1 from any other cell phone on the market. Why buy the G1 instead of any other phone? That - I think - is the missing element I hoped we'd see. @Benji… you make some good points. Still, I don’t think they did enough to help differentiate the G1 from any other cell phone on the market.

It's for people. People who will flip the channel at the first hint of technospeak. Notice not one person is holding a G1, or any gizmo. The most advanced electronic item shown is a boombox on a beach-blanket. You missed the understated point: if these people had a G1, they would have answers, not questions. The way the commercial ends, we are introduced to the G1 by being shown the 'world is in it'. In the final shot, the camera angles up to the sky and then the scene pans back -- the sky for the world of the people with the questions is all in a G1, along with the answers to their questions. Sure, a lot of other devices can get them answers; ads for any device could be applied to a competing one. This ad was about a G1 though, not another device. The commercial was fine, you couldn't see the forest through the trees ;) This isn’t a commercial for techies. It’s for people. People who will flip the channel at the first hint of technospeak.
