    Basically this guy Nick Haley, an 18 year old English student, created his own iPod Touch commercial, uploaded it to YouTube, and Apple saw it and liked it. Here it is on YouTube, and from several articles it will be shown starting this weekend...I dont think Apple has advertised the iPod Touch with commericals...but this one is pretty cool and flashy.

    I saw this article as well, it was very interesting. And the song really fits in with the iPod Touch's concept.

    Apple did have an iPod Touch ad "in progress", and they previewed it at the September 5th event, but they never ended up finishing it, I guess.

    I love it! Great ad.

    i know apple didn't make this one, but jee, apple really does make THE best commercials on TV. Each of them are so memorable. and I always end up getting the song they used...they use the best music!

    Apple could work with Nick Haley to come up with a flashy commercial for the iPhone...I think the current ones with an individual describing their one-time useful experience are not that great...Haley's commercial is one of the best Apple commercials I've seen...way better than the new Nano commercial.

    The new iPhone commercials are reminiscent of the Switch campaign...which I found annoying :p. I don't really like the new iPhone commercials either.

    Just wanted to note, this ad is edited and officially up on Apple's website now. Still is about the same as the YouTube ad, just a little better, of course :p.

    Thanks Sam...actually I wanted to ask you if you could ID this song..the song from the iPod Touch ad played during the September Keynote.

    Apple does pick some really nice songs for their ads. :)

    No problem, always happy to help out :). As for how I found that...truthfully, I didn't know until you asked...but some quick Google + YouTube + iTunes searching brought it up ;).

    I just saw the Nick Haley commercial several times during Game 4 of the World Series. Very catchy. I think Apple just sold at least one more iPod Touch. :p
