Moto hasn't been shying away from the Apple jabs this year, and it's
got another one in store for the Super Bowl this week with a
commercial that'll poke fun at Cupertino's 1984 Macintosh ad, perhaps
the most famous Super Bowl spot of all time. In it, the company says
that "2011 looks a lot like 1984" with "one authority, one design, one
way to work" while showing Planet Earth wearing a pair of shiny white
iPod / iPhone buds. Boom, here comes a new planet -- a red, gaseous
one with an "M" logo on it -- that pimps a bunch of wild features
we'll be seeing in the Xoom like a dual-core processor, upgradeable
4G, and Honeycomb out of the box. In closing, Moto says "it's time to
live a free life." We would've liked to have seen Motorola follow a
format closer to that 1984 commercial, but it's a pretty well-played
jab nonetheless -- and it's conceivable that this is just a teaser for
the actual ad that'll air next weekend. Follow the break to check it
out.
