Yes, it seems in addition to doing many of the things the iPhone does long before Apple did, Palm also did "there's an app for that" long before Apple did. (It's a joke, don't all the iPhone lovers attack me for that. )
This commercial is VERY good at making Palm look good, not their products.
What would make me want a phone really bad is seeing a couple things.

You know how that AD showed different people doing different things? Well, if they were holding a Pre and it showed those people how THEY were using and abusing Palm Pre's capabilities.
For example, that guy who was driving the car... He could have looked at his Pre to see that turn by turn GPS that Sprint offers.

Or a guy with an umbrella in one hand and a Pre in the other hand watching the other guy get soaked wet when it is raining.
Or the lady in that boat using the messaging features cause it says "whisper to a friend" or whatever.

Or the guy who has "Manage your Accounts" could have been holding a Pre showing off Synergy.

Hopefully somebody gets my point.
