Also the expectation of "truth in advertising" is quite a bit higher in EU/Europe than in the US. You can certainly see from other aspects of this ad (the basic introduction to what "3G" means) that this is an ad that was primarily targeting the US market, simply changing the accent of the person speaking for the UK.

If apple want to show off how fast and usable their product is you can't excuse them by saying "but it would take ages to show that", because thats the point. The ads are misleading and that is not tolerated. I hope their exposure hasn't duped too many people into committing to a product for 18 months that is not as advertised. You wouldn't accept a flashy Ferrari if it performed like a Lada. I hope the world starts to see through apple and the hollow company it is.]]>Nov 27th 2008 10:24AM
