Video: Windows Mobile's newest commercial
March 12, 2009 in Editorial, News by dave
Now, here at WinMo Cool, we often complain that Windows Mobile’s biggest problem is advertising. It doesn’t hype itself at all! I’ve seen so many super awesome BlackBerry commericals and, though I’m ashamed to admit it, there have been some pretty cool iPhone commercials as well.
Well, this is the new Windows Mobile commercial.
I want to like it, but I have to say… I just don’t get it. I mean, I get it… I guess. I get what they’re trying to do. As a bit of a WinMo expert, I can understand that they’re trying to play up the new cloud system, they’re trying to let you know that you can communicate with your Xbox 360. You can upload your pictures from your phone to the internet in a single click… but I don’t know if that really comes across as clearly as they’d like to think it does. It’s a little too artsy for me, I think. Maybe I’m being unfairly harsh. What do you think? Does it make sense to you? Does it make you want to run out and buy a WinMo phone?

I wish they gave more concrete facts and information about WinMo capabilities. The video is all party no business.
It’s their first ad, and it’s a very general overview.
They are not supposed to give you a product demo. Would you, as a layman, not a ppc geek, want to watch that?
For a first ad, it’s a good tease to intrigue people to maybe want to find out more.
