Poll: is a new smartphone in your future?

January 17th, 2011 joel

When we asked P&T readers about the most likely headlines they might see as the close of 2011, a plurality said that they didn’t think local news in high definition would be a reality this year. Almost one-fourth predicted a single-branded newscast coming out of 35th & State.

Well the big announcement for Verizon Wireless subscribers finally came last week: the new iPhone for Verizon will be released February 10th. My feeling is that with Verizon’s market share in this area, the iPhone will be a big winner in the Erie market. It might even turn the heads of local late adopters who have been holding out. How about you? Are you thinking about going smartphone in 2011?

Microsoft answers Mac guy with Jerry Seinfeld

September 10th, 2008 joel

This weekend’s NFL football games featured a 90-second television ad for Microsoft featuring Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates shopping for shoes and eating churros. What any of this has to do with moving the Vista platform off the shelf is beyond me.

The spot is quite random, with the discussion of discount shoes and showering with your clothes on. In fact the word “Microsoft” is said only once during the spot. But hiring Seinfeld for a reported $10 million and allowing him to do his “yadda, yadda, yadda” routine might help lighten up the image of the monolithic corporation and its struggling operating system. The campaign is getting mixed reviews. What do you think?
