In a bold new advertisement from Verizon, the company procedes to call the iPhone a “princess” and “digitally clueless beauty pageant queen,” while stating that their Droid is a “robot” that “rips through the web like a circular saw through a banana.” While the analogies may be clever, I don’t think Verizon is attacking the right points in this advertisement.

Droid, a new phone emerging in the mobile marketplace through a cooperative effort with Verizon and Motorola, is turning out to cause quite a ruckus as the first true iPhone competitor. At least that’s what the companies are trying to get at through their clever new commercial that flat out attacks the weak points of Apple’s iPhone. The ad, which is 30 seconds in length, starts off with an Apple-esque song and black text that drops down on a white background reading “iDon’t run widgets,” “iDon’t allow open development,” and “iDon’t have a real keyboard,” and such.
