Apple Product Launch Frenzy Parodied In Somersby Cider Commercial

Apple’s recent commercials have been, in our opinion, a bit lackluster as they no longer talk about their products. Instead, they focus on the experiences its users can expect from their iOS products. Apple really should use the excitement and long-lines that are synonymous with the launch of a new Apple product, especially their mobile devices.

Somersby Cider decided to launch a new commercial that parodies the experience Apple fans go through when a new product launches. Except, of course, the product that’s featured in the following commercial is a cider. The commercial uses a lot of tech terminology that you would find Apple employees describing their products, such as a “16-pit” apple, or buying a cider that’s “completely wireless.”

The Somersby Cider commercial really does a great job at parodying the frenzy that goes on when a new Apple product is launched. It captures the excitement both Apple’s customers as well as their employees experience that day, but again, this is over cider, which makes its excitement completely ironic.

T-Mobile schedules new product event on October 29th

TMobile holding new product launch October 29th

T-Mobile has just sent out invites to the press for a product launch event on the evening of October 29th. We weren’t given any clues as to what this new item (or items) could be — aside from the fact that it will include T-Mobile’s full fall lineup — but we certainly have a few suspicions considering the timing of such an event. Microsoft and Google are both holding press events earlier in the day, after all, which means we’re either going to be treated to T-Mobile’s Windows Phone 8 lineup or (this is less likely, but anything’s possible) a T-Mobile Nexus. Feel free to put your wagers in the comments below, and we’ll work to sort out the craziness that will most certainly ensue that day.

Google’s Eric Schmidt slams patent wars, still has nice things to say about Apple and Samsung

Eric Schmidt’s recent trip to Seoul wasn’t all spontaneous Gangnam dancing. Google’s former-CEO / current executive chair had a lot to say during the Korean launch of the company’s Nexus 7 tablet, bemoaning the patent wars that have ensnarled the industry, telling the crowd, “literally patent wars prevent choice, prevent innovation and I think that is very bad. We are obviously working through that and trying to make sure we stay on the right side of these issues.” The war for marketshare ought to be fought with the release of better products, rather legal maneuvering, according to the executive.

But in spite of Apple’s role in the battle — and the company’s decision to go it alone on products like its troubled Maps app — Schmidt still had kind words for Cupertino, calling the company “a very good partner,” and adding that the, “two companies are literally talking all the time about everything.” The exec also told the crowd that he’d be meeting with Samsung, one of the company’s “most important partners,” during the trip, “as I do every time I come here.”
