LG Optimus Pad Advertisement crane kicks Steve Jobs in the face

Ok LG, your new Pad looks great and we’re sure it’s going to be a smash hit — but do you really need to crane kick Steve Jobs in the face? (1:00 mark) I mean, your just opening a big ol’ can of worms here. The commercial itself isn’t great (insane 90’s style 3D effects with generic techno music doesn’t ft right) but the devices look cool. Really confused right now…. We’ll get back to you LG.

Video - Motorola Xoom ad knocks at Apple's "1984"

While there weren’t any Olympic runners hurling objects at a mind-numbing speech done by Steve Jobs, Motorola was able to capture a little bit of the charm that made Apple’s “1984” Super Bowl ad such a hit it originall was.

Dell Streak 7: Is it really as disappointing as reviews claim?

Over the past couple of days I’ve had the chance to read several notable Dell Streak 7 reviews floating around the net. And while originally I’d had high hopes for Dell’s plucky 7-inch slate, my opinion is now beginning to acutely falter.
