Motorola has taken a shot at the iPad and Galaxy Tab today, while at the same time hyping up its upcoming Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablet.
The teaser video (posted), shows a museum of tablets, starting with an Egyptian Hieroglyphics Tablet from 3200 BC and concluding with the iPad and Galaxy Tab, released earlier in 2010.

Pretty bold for a device that only exists in the ether. Call me when it's in Best Buy. If you're interested in this one, wait for the BOGO two months after release. I bet every GoogleTV owner will buy one.
My critique of the commercial: too long-winded and doesn't even show this "amazing" me-too device. Is that because it's fantastically mind-boggling ... or because they still haven't finished the hardware? I'll file this one under "VAPORWARE" for now.

You have a interesting point. I remember when the Amiga was subject to a negative campaign by Apple and MS suggesting that it was "only a games machine". Drawing a parallel to then consoles like SNES and whatnot. And people believed it! Despite the fact it could emulate a Mac with the same cpu faster than the Mac itself. So if they could paint the iPad as just a giant iPhone, regardless of whether it's true, it just might stick.
Still, I'm intrigued by Android 3.0, it might not be that to beat a device where the major design philosophy is that it's factory-replaceable batteries should fail about the time the next version comes out. :P
Nha sorry "It's like a giant.. but it's like a giant iPhone" made me laugh !!!! Besides, that's basically saying well "any problems with the iPhone, is made bigger!"
By the way, that advert was great. I really like the idea behind it I think it showed some initiative in promotion !!
