Bell Palm Pre Ad Looks Very Familiar

Posted August 21, 2009 at 12:58am by
Bell has begun airing ads for the Palm Pre which exactly mimic Apple's iPhone ads.

The ad is shot on a plain white backdrop. A hand demonstrates usage while catchy music plays in the background. The narrators intonation is also strikingly familiar.


You can watch the ad below and voice your opinions in the comments...

Good luck Palm... You wont get very far! This device will get as much hype as the instinct did when it first got released on Bell's CDMA network, the end result will be the same... remember these words. Apple is far ahead of the game & nothing will remotely come close to comparison with the iPhone EXCEPT yet another upgraded version!
