The best Ad on TV right now? BOND!

So in our wonderful world of mobile-related fun, Mr. Bond has been making waves with his “Quantum of Solace” marketing push – personally I think this film is going to be AWESOME when it opens this Friday. Bond has had a major push on the mobile front, with Sony Ericssons C902 device getting BIG coverage (check out O2 shops for example… 5 ft advertising boards!)

But I digress somewhat – the current BEST Ad on TV, in my humble opinion, is the “Bond in High Definition” Sony advert. A slow-mo start, with various explosions hitting Daniel Craig, as he strolls to the camera – doesn’t sound like much, but the impact is huge!

You wanna watch? Go over to YouTube and type in “bond in high definition” – there are lots of users who have posted the Ad up.

You wanna check out more Bond goodness? Hop over to Sony’s site for info and videos :-)

About The Author

Ben Robinson

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.

    I think this is very ironic, because it shows exactly the situation right now:

    HD could be fantastic and stunning, but there are no video clips you can watch.

    Is there anywhere a downloadlink for this ad in HD? I haven't found it yet.

    How can you advertise the experience of HD in YouTube Quality? *headshaking*

    It's a VERY good point….

    I saw the Ad originally on a HD channel, so did get the full effect – but it doesn't appear to widely available on the web in HD :-(
