iPhone commercials in different cultures

This is a post for the hard core Apple aficionados. Check out iPhone ads featuring the applications as the main selling point. The spots are made for different countries: USA, UK, Australia, France and Japan. Notice how the ads differ slightly in their choice of applications and in accent or language to match local culture.

In the USA the iPhone helps you calculate your share of the restaurant bill and tells you how many calories you ate — stuff Europeans would find rather useless. However in the UK, France and Australia the iPhone will help you keep your monthly budget to the last penny — something I suppose an American would find excessive. In Australia the iPhone helps you find the beach with the best break — a solution to a problem we'd all like to have. In Japan the iPhone teaches how to say the letter "R" and gives them Manga novels — things that won't turn the majority of Westerners on. But, it seems the problem of the wobbly book shelves is universal.
