Touchpad torture on Desperate Housewives

lmazliah · 10/16/2011, 09:01 PM

Yes I know the same story as with Gossip Girl that these episodes are taped a bit in advance but now to see another product placement of the Touchpad on tonight's Desperate Housewives is just driving me nuts. Please whoever owns it or buys webos please resurrect the Touchpad

i saw this preview last week. I also saw the palm pre on last weeks Grays anatomy.

Gossip girls, housewives and grays anatomy? These viewers are who HP thinks of as potential customers?

Desperate....for a TouchPad. I think it fits

why shouldn't virtually everyone be a potential customer?

Grey's Anatomy has surprisingly accurate medical information worked into their episodes. I'd be willing to bet many allied health care professionals watch it. Why not market to an educated likely young adult?

This just shows that HP had a marketing plan but they didn’t have an upper management plan.

Yes, you are right everyone should be a customer. It wouldn't hurt though to have product placement on a show with a wider range of audience. Not sure which ones, because I hardly watch tv excluding sundays during football season.

Grey's Anatomy and Desperate Housewives being two extremely popular shows, seems like it'd be a good place.

No no, the only reason we're seeing them on TV is because they're cheap enough to use as TV props and no one has to pay anyone for the exposure.
