Apple Releases Official Version of Amateur iPod Touch Ad

As promised in Friday’s NY Times, Apple aired an updated and official version of Nick Haley’s brilliant homemade iPod Touch commercial. I caught it during the pre-game for the World Series. Apple calls the spot “Nylon,” which is a search term during the Safari demo they show. The commercial is very faithful to Haley’s ad, but with a few additions. From what I can tell, the new stuff includes showing a Foo Fighters video, lingering a bit longer on a web page, and then really emphasizing iTunes online. Other than that, it’s the same.

Watch Apple’s official version here, and then click through to watch Nick’s ad for comparison.
