Don't know if I'd get that literal on these. First guy was playing during the meeting, but he wasn't flirting, just justifying his phone use to all the attendees with the spreadsheet. Unless the girl overpowered the messenger guy, I would guess she asked to borrow the bike. I think they are kind of cute, though I have only actually seen the original one on TV where the guy is leaving his house, initially assuming his Win stuff can't come. Seen that one twice. Seen lots of other carrier and phone platform ads LOTS. Specially that T-Mo google thing. I think these get the point across that you can take your Windows stuff along. Hopefully they evolve into showing how broad the range of stuff you can take along is. We probably have an app for that too. And if we want to adopt the old Apple/Palm philosophies, if we don't have it, you probably don't really need it.
