This is one of the Superbowl commercials that Motorola had for their PEBL phone. The design of the phone is amazingly smooth and tactilely pleasing. They had them at the Motorola booth at CES. Some were on pedestals where you could play with them, but they had many others that were with piles of rocks under glass on the floor.

The Motorola booth was huge, but I didn’t find anything there that I really wanted. They were promoting their RAZR in pink, you know, for girls. As a girl, I’m becoming more and more sick of the color pink. I’m beginning to think that they don’t really understand women and what we want.

I was more impressed with the Motorola Ski Jackets. The MP3 player snapped into the arm of the jacket and the headphones were in the hood. Of course, I would forget to remove the MP3 player and throw the jacket into the washing machine when it started smelling too much like February snow, so it’s not really a good choice for me.

The Motorola booth was impressive, with its dance floors, music playing apparel and phones that look like rocks. I don’t know why I didn’t take any pictures…
