Like everyone else, Apple is getting into the holiday spirit with their latest iPhone ad for the twelve days of Christmas. The advertisement this time, with the same perfect hand, simply goes through a dozen or so iPhone applications to an altered version of the traditional Christmas song. As usual, it is pretty clever in the wording and applications chosen.

In my ongoing battle against the Microsoft Laptop Hunter ads, Microsoft has given me more reasons to complain with their latest ad. This time around it features a lady named Sheila who is looking for a computer for under $2,000 that will help her with her video editing. She ends up getting an HP HDX, but not before mentioning that MacBooks only come with 2GB RAM standard for under $2,000. Throughout the whole ad, her only real argument is that the PC she purchased has a larger screen size, which is nice for editing.

Apple has released yet another iPod Touch advertisement. As is typical of all Apple iPhone and iPod Touch ads, this one features that perfect hand on a white background with nothing but the iPod Touch. This time around the ad has been titled “More Fun” and contains the background music of Franz Ferdinand’s “No You Girls” (look to see that one on the iTunes list any day now). The ad focuses on the concept of gaming again and features a variety of games on the App Store.

The Advertising Standards Authority in the U.K. has banned an Apple iPhone 3G due to complaints from a whopping seventeen people. The ad in question promoted the speed of the iPhone 3G, saying, “So, what’s so great about 3G? It’s what helps you get the news, really fast. Find your way, really fast. And download more »

The casting call is as follows: Apple is looking for a man and woman in their mid-20s to film a demo more »

While surfing Engadget, I noticed a new Apple Ad that I don’t believe has been seen before.

It features two ad spaces, one a banner at the top of the page and one a rectangle at the side. PC and Mac are standing in the rectangle looking up at the banner which features a quote from a review of Vista. PC doesn’t like what it says and so opens a door and pulls a “banner refresh” lever. Hilarity ensues when after 3 pulls of the lever, a positive review quote comes up… of Leopard.

Video after the break.
