   The scene right out of "The day the earth stood still"
   The space ship lands, a light floods out from within the ship, the crowd gasps! (ack!)
   A platform starts to lower from the shop (more gasps), the military draws closes, the tanks loom overhead, finally the door opens and from the light emerges "The Android" with a myTouch in his hands. Suddenly everyone has a phone pop into their hands and "touching" begins.
   There is harmony, there is love….. there is…. mytouch.

   The scene is T-Mobile's very own retail store, at least the ones that can accommodate a lot of people. My idea is derived from my experience with a Linux Users Group that promoted Linux very well. This particular group held InstallFest and workshops every week and showed lots of very cool demos at their monthly meetings.

   T-Mobile stores should have a happy hour every weekend, where they invite the public to come in and see a lot of cool demos of what can be done with a G1/MT3G, ask questions, ask for help, and enjoy refreshments just like at a users group meeting. And where people can talk to each other and share their experiences. Be able to ask for help sounds like an Apple Store's Genius Bar, but this happy hour would be so much better since people will see a lot of very cool demos and enjoy refreshments. From my observations, people look very bored and/or confused at an Apple Genius Bar.

   Of course, to be able to create a commercial or video, T-Mobile has to start having these happy hours. And also to train some of their employees or hire Android experts. Have you ever gone into a T-Mobile store and asked a salesperson to show you something cool on the phone? I've tried and rarely saw anything.

   I do know that if I saw a lot of cool demos, like the stufff you see at trade shows (the old Comdex in Las Vegas comes to mind) or conferences and also had a chance to talk to other users at the same time, I would want to buy an Android phone or be excited to go home and try out new stuff.

   I really like what you did. The only thing I'd suggest is to make the fonts a little bigger to make them easier to read.

   I know this is old, I am not trying to be a Lazarus of sorts (well kind of ) but I think a good t.v. spot would be a parody, have a community of cell phones, and pda devices, and then a godzilla like android running through their city chasing the mobiles around, but at the end it shows that the android just want to play and share, not dominate.

   I am in a bit of pickle, I have had my Apple iPhone 3G for the past couple of years and it’s been fine. It is my understanding that Apple has a new update coming out called OS 4 and it’s supposed to be adding some new features to the iPhone 3G. I actually just bought Verizon’s new HTC Incredible the HTC Incredible and it’s an incredible phone, far superior to the Apple 3G, BUT I’m hearing that Apple is supposed to be coming out with a brand new iphone altogether, and it’s supposed to be really nice but no one has any ideas as to when and Apple isn’t saying a thing. Should I keep my HTC Incredible, that I have 30 days to test and send it back if I don’t want to keep it, or should I give it back, keep my current iPhone 3G and wait for the release for the new iPhone- tough to make up my mind.
