Apple has debuted a new iPod touch ad called “Grid” which features the song “What I’m Looking For” by Brendan Benson.
The new ad, which aired during Fox’s “American Idol” and also on other networks, shows the myriad things you can do with an iPod touch with several of the devices laid out in a loose grid-like pattern on a wooden surface:

Quick, slick, nice feel. Maybe a little too quick to get a good look … which may be the reason for the song –
“I know that I wanna look some more…”
I’m almost ready to dump my Palm, please apple give use cut and paste and search.
…I’m even happier that my iPod Touch is on order… (but still waiting for the iPhone to arrive here in NL though)
@Snapper
Unless you buy an iPhone, the rest of us iPhone users will never get our cut and paste.
Steve Jobs told me so.
Touché.
Yawn!!!
Dropped my Touch. Screen is busted. $400 down the drain. I stick with my Macs..
@ Never Again
Is there nothing Apple can do for you? Did you ask?
For those of you who demand the best of everything:
Coming in Summer 2008

How many people are going to watch this commercial, see about 20 different ipod Touches on a table with different things on each one and wonder if a person has to buy a different ipod Touch for a different function???
“I like the map iTouch, but I need a photo iTouch, too.”
No, I just checked and seen that a replacement screen was $199 + installation.. (Not sure where I found it. 3rd party I think).. Did a Google for “ipod touch screen replacement” and it popped up….
lol never again…..
so, because you can’t a) buy a case or b) be trusted to hold things you are going to stick to macs.
i wish other people worked that way.

No one. No one at all. Well, okay, maybe 4 year olds and people in mental hospitals.
Aside from that, just you.

So why can’t the Zune, Verizon, RIM, Palm, HTC make ads like these? You know show in real time how it all works and flows like a real touchscreen/multitouch device? Hellooooo….
yes, has anybody seen the zUNE commercials?
with those freaky beings straight from the horror movies…
any many wonder why Apple sells iPods by the bucketload.
The zUNE Commercials don’t focus on the product, but on nightmarish creatures and when the ad is over, you ask yourself: “What the f*beep* was that all aboout?”
I love Apples ads. – straight tho the point and the product.
(and yes, i have written zUNE intentionally wrong just like a certain somebody who does this with macs.)
Brendan Benson is awesome. Check out his album Lapalco on iTunes. Every song is just a great little melody and a fun listen. It’s the antithesis to today’s crudrock like Nickelback.
@ blucaso
Don’t say the “N” word around me, please. yichk…
Uhm, how long did you own the Touch before you dropped it? Unless you used cash, lots of credit cards have damage insurance. So, if you drop your Touch in the first three months, you can get a full replacement.
@Beryllium
Brilliant!
Does it come in aluminum?
And, do I have a choice of either “glossy” or “matte” finish?
What about a “Pro” version that can handle 20lbs?
I hear the Microsoft version “ZunePoo” is coming out in 2013. They might have a problem with the design spec I saw, the laptop docking station, the Zune dock and speakers are all inside the bowl. Oh well its an appropriate place for crap anyway. And, by the way you have to purchase and hook-up a MS “bigasstable” to be able to flush it.
@BMTOCDN
I don’t know if it comes in aluminum, but wouldn’t that be very cold?
I also don’t know if glossy or matte finish is available.
I think it needs a docking station to be certain that derrieres line up properly with the seat. Especially if these devices show up in public rest rooms.
“@Shen
lol never again…..”
I really could do without your smartassed fanboy rants. I dropped a 16 gig touch and the screen is broken. It’s finished. $400 down the drain. I was going to go buy a new 16 gig iPhone next Friday with my Income tax refund, but I won’t because, YES, I do tend to be rough on stuff, and Yes, I have dropped my blackberry 30 feet onto concrete and while it’s banged up. it’s not junk….
I have a 2 Macs and I love them. The iPhone/Touch doesn’t fit my style. Pardon me for not Drooling everytime Steve Jobs farts.
@Never Again
Dropped iPhone, dropped BB. Man you’re a disaster, don’t buy a laptop.
@ Never Again
For for the love of God, never have kids… They don’t don’t bounce either….
@ Never again
Dropped a BB 30 feet onto concrete? Someone with “skills” really should stay away from 30′ high ledges!!
