Blackberry Takes a Shot at Apple [Video]

Blackberry Takes a Shot at Apple [Video]

Posted February 26, 2009 at 1:25pm by iClarified
A new Blackberry ad takes a literal shot at an Apple while introducing the first touch screen Blackberry device.

"The world's first touch-screen Blackberry. Nothing can touch it"

The ad is not officially from RIM. It's a "spec" spot meant to drum up business for an ad agency or production house. This ad was made by "GUAVA," out of New York City.

horrible add, this just shows that they would rather spend $$$ slamming the competition than actually showing their product.

i would definitely agree w/ you, i have seen one and touched it, and it's no wonder why the iPhone continues to reign supreme. Everytime they try to catch up (even halfway) the iPhone blasts them back out of the water.
