This must be the cutest, most festive and seasonal use of an ipad..brilliant idea and the way they did it, so simple. Especially when they kiss that lady.. lovely. Well done to the torchbox people, thanks for sharing.

cheers Torchbox you've helped me make the final 2010 decision to NOT buy an ipad - that video was seriously [comment deleted by moderator] and i hope to god the next app i see installs some sort of Apple faith in me or im throwing my iphone away!

The thought and sentiment was lovely, but the choreography was weak...but i guess thats why they do web-design and not choreography / music videos...
This still made me smile. Well done.

Ah come on guys, why all the negativity? The amount of Christmas dross we see each year from agencies - at least this made an attempt at being fun and a little original.
On the flip-side, apple really do have the creative market sewn up. Spooky.

So sweet. A new take on a company Christmas wishes to all.
Little think I noted was that the majority of the guys weren't as warmly dressed as the ladies. Whats up with that?

Skilfully done, though I'd love to know if every employee has been forced to buy an ipad to fit in, or chose to buy one of their own accord!

Who is that 'Stu' guy at the top of this comments list? Where does he live?
Just North of Who-Ville would be my guess...
