Count me among those who find the current crop of Palm Pre ads with Tamara Hope to be seriously missing the mark. The 3rd one, ‘Reincarnation,’ is especially . . . well, creepy.
I don’t have a Pre and don’t plan to get one, though I liked the Treo 650 I used for several years. So I don’t read the Palm blogs, but after seeing the ad I Googled “stupid Palm Pre ad” and discovered I’m not alone (one rarely is in cyberspace these days).
The techie contingent seems to object that the ads don’t show all the cool features of the Pre. I don’t have a problem with soft or image ads if they’re cleverly done. But this one leaves me . . . well, creeped out.
By the way, phooey on Apple for disabling iTunes for the Pre. Not good.
