Apple posts new iPad ad with a hint of Deja Vu


A new iPad ad hit the airwaves Wednesday night. Long-time Apple watchers, and Newton lovers, might have felt a bit of nostalgia.

The new "What is iPad" ad answers the self-posed question in a series of quick firing situations. The ad is a bit of a departure from Apple's typical vibe, but there was something more than going on here. Mad props MacRumors for putting the figure on it and digging up the lifetime-ago footage from Apple's "What is Newton?" ad.

Both ads very similar, which is sort of hip of Apple to greenlight such a nod to its past. Check out MacRumors post to see the old ad.

MacRumors notes that Newton saw two more ads along this introduction concept called "Who is Newton?" and "Where is Newton?" It will be interesting if Apple keep the old is new theme in future iPad ads.
