The Fake iPad Commercial

UPDATE: Not even 30 minutes after I posted this article, the band cola-cola posted the new song on their myspace page. You heard it first here!

The leaked Apple Ad for the iPad is an obvious fake. Here are the reasons...

1) The product in the video is obviously a 3D rendering. Apple usually uses the real thing in their commercials. Notice the ports on the back. They're flat. Not three dimensional. Plus the falloff shadow on the first shot is nice and even like a spot light in any 3D animation program.

2) These ports are flawed. Note the magsafe adapter on the back. How would you charge this or use any of these ports for that matter if they were on the back?

3) Apple stopped putting Firewire 400 on their products to conserve precious space. Why would they bring it back on an even more compact device?

4) The song playing is not recognized by Shazam, so it's probably not a mainstream band.

5) The music is not mastered well. It sounds a little like it was an amateur recording.

6) This is obviously an online marketing campaign for the band Cola-Cola out of LA.

7) If you look at the bottom of the video behind the website address, you'll see the words cola cola in grey writing underneath. This band is obviously the band playing on the video. The recording style and sound are exactly the same. They have a new record they're working on according to their twitter and this is probably a way to get it out there. Not a bad idea, but I saw right through it.

8) Any device like this today is most likely going to by 16:9. Not 4:3.
