Pre ad premiering on Facebook 9
Remember that giant Facebook page thing we saw being used for a commercial a while back? Well, it looks like that’s coming full-circle with the first ad for the Palm Pre set to debut on Facebook on Wednesday, June 3rd. Not only that, but Palm will be releasing some behind-the-scenes videos of the making of the commercial, all on their Facebook account. Here’s what they had to say about the commercial:
"The ad was inspired by the way the Pre phone lets you effortlessly flow among all your life’s diverse passions and dimensions. All those connections (friends, coworkers, family, etc.) are represented by characters in a picturesque landscape. As our main character touches the screen, types, and interacts with Palm Pre, her world adjusts. A beautiful dance of invisible organization."
It’s an interesting mental visualization, we’ll have to see how they managed to pull it off in full production. Palm says in the post that they’ll be launching a national ad campaign “in the near future,” which seems like a rather obvious statement with the Pre a week away.
Thanks to everyone that sent this in!

FYI: Wednesday is June 3rd
Just thought you should know :)
Thanks. I'm not sure how I managed that typo...
I think you have the Pre Party Day on the brain like the rest of us.
Heh. I've got a lot of Pre on the brain right now!
*stands confused*
RAPE!!
(I don't know how else to react)
I wonder how long until this commercial is leaked on the net! I hope to find it on here over the weekend!! Get to work guys!! ;)
I hope they release it for tv after I get mine on Saturday.
I dont think we will see any Pre specific TV ads until they produce more inventory. So I guess that means all us geeks, fan boys and early adopters will get one on June 6th!
So this will be on Facebook on June 3 but when will it be on TV?
Feels like too little too late.
That said, I may not know enough about the power of Facebook. Maybe they're trying to play super-smart with their ad dollars, in a way that will likely go viral (I guess I had to finally say it, just once).
