See SPIN Play in Apple’s Latest iPad 2 commercial

June 20th, 2011

“Now, we can watch a newspaper; listen to a magazine; curl up with a movie; and see a phone call…. Now, we can take a classroom anywhere; hold an entire bookstore; and touch the stars. Because now, there’s this.”

On Saturday, June 18, Apple released its new iPad 2 commercial entitled simply, “Now.”  Another Bottle Rocket success story, we are proud and humbled at the same time to be a part of the mobile revolution in entertainment and information access.

Using these amazing iPad apps, like The Wall Street Journal, you can watch a newspaper.  WSJ’s app came up with embedded videos so you can also enjoy videos associated to the article you’re reading.  Through SPIN Play, you can listen to the magazine’s featured songs in the app.

Apple also highlights FaceTime and how you can now make a video call. Moreover, the new iPad 2 commercial shows that you can now take a class anyplace by streaming lecture videos right on your iPad.  Hold a complete bookstore with eBooks and touch the stars by means of the Star Walk app.

Thank you, Apple, for the mention in the commercial, and thank you, SPIN Magazine, for the opportunity to build an app we love as much as your fans.
