Via YouTube we can remember this old Palm commercial, combining a classic boy meets girl situation and a PDA feature very much appreciated by seasoned users. You may call me a romantic, but I found it a delightful ad.
This commercial must be several years old, given that the displayed model is a
Palm V, that was discontinued some time ago. I suggest you to watch the ad first, and then keep reading below:
The ad looks like it was produced for the American or British market, but the environment and the flamenco music bring it very much closer to us: I may be wrong, but the trains look like the Euromeds that Renfe (the Spanish railways) are using along the Mediterranean, and the place is Barcelona’s old Estació de França (by the way, just around the corner of the auditorium where the MobileMonday powwows are held the first Monday of every month).
Regarding the infrared data transmission that makes him and her so happy, it is one of the most convenient features in a PDA, even in this current era of WiFi and Bluetooth, so some of us still appreciate that certain manufacturers, such as Palm itself, are still keeping it in their recent devices. The ad is a tribute to the swift elegance of instantly sending your own business card by pressing a single button.
