Apple’s Oscal-staring iPad ad

An Apple iPad commercial graced the Oscars last night. The ad did a good job of highlighting the various features of the iPad though I’m not quite sure it was or is as effective as the first round of iPhone ads.

Engadget has a few more tidbits on the ad here along with a copy of the video itself.

Oh…and when will the iPad first appear on store shelves? How about April 3.

In case you’re waiting for some Tablet PC commercials, well you’ll have to wait a bit longer. Maybe a future generation HP slate or even the Courier project will get some ad time. Till then.
