It certainly doesn’t have the flair and emotional connection of one of Apple’s iPad adverts, but Verizon has aired its own iPad 2 commercial, promoting the use of the device with their 3G network. It highlights a few specific iPad features that are made functional with Verizon’s network such as downloading a new book from iBooks at the beach and tweeting at a campsite. Consistent with other Verizon adverts, specific mention is also made towards the end of the advert of Verizon’s network coverage across the US, stating that it is “America’s largest and most reliable network”.
Salesperson: It’s faster, thinner and lighter and with the power of Verizon you can stay connected almost anywhere. Lets say you want to download a best-seller at the beach. Done. Or if you want to stay connected when your miles away from WiFi. No problem! You can even tweet when you’re nowhere near your followers… and you can post pictures too! So what do you think?
Customer: I’ll take it.
Narrator: The iPad 2, on America’s largest and most reliable network. Verizon.
Jump the break to have a watch of the Verizon iPad commercial for yourself, as well as one of Apple’s own iPad adverts, to see for yourself some of the differences. [via 9to5 Mac]
