Skateboarding Dog: iPhone’s YouTube Ad Tested Over EDGE (Verdict: Surprise!)

We were actually “surprised” that the video loaded as quickly as it did. We were in EDGE, so the quality was downgraded, but the experience was shockingly close to the Apple ad. Score one for the Jobs-man. Seriously, we were not expecting such an easy job.
