Interesting iPod touch gaming ad introduced on Yahoo!

Apple has been known to have created some fairly interesting web based ads that have most commonly appeared on the New York Times and other popular sites. Up until this point, these ads, unlike some ads, have been fairly unobtrusive and have remained within their little ad areas. However, Apple has now created a new iPod touch ad that doesn’t leave its area, but still manages to literally shake the whole Yahoo! games home page. Although the ad itself is familiar, this was a pretty interesting way of applying it.
See what I mean? This new approach to one of Apple’s ads further illustrates how much they are pushing the iPod touch as a gaming platform. This ad really does grab the page visitor in a pretty obtrusive way (that said, it has to be initiated), but that just shows how much Apple wants people to see this. In the end, even with this awesome ad to display, I don’t think this will supply any help when it comes to Yahoo! as a company. I’m sure Apple was able to get this ad spot for fairly cheap considering their current state.

I love that the final frame of the advertisement shows that the iPod Touch 2G still plays music. The games are definitely focused on too much in this ad.
