There aren’t too many things to cheer up “back to school day”, except for the fact that it’s a Thursday, so you’ve only got two days to go, but at least there’s a brand new iPad 2 advert to gaze at from Apple, Cult of Mac reports, and it’s actually one with a learning theme, presumably to celebrate, if that’s the word, going back to school. Called “Learn”, the ad focuses on all the different ways that you can use your iPad for learning, such as reading about ideas on the TED app, learning new languages, such as Japanese, reading books, learning about anatomy by looking at a very cool skeleton, delving into astronomy, learning to play the piano or chess, or even just doing your sums. Of course the ad, complete with soothing Peter Coyote voice-over as usual, makes even writing sums on a virtual chalkboard look like fun!

Does anyone know names of shown application?

If you go to the iTunes Store, there is a section, "Apps from iPad TV Ads," that will tell you what all the apps are.

The chess game is tChess Pro.

Very nice informative ad, makes me want an iPad 

That ad reached me for sure...

Well leelia, I hope you either get an iPad 2 or iPad 3. The funny thing is that you find more and more things to it on as you use it. It is amazing how much I use it keeping notes at meeting and emailing pics and note for the home owners association I am part of. Even my wife is amazed how many uses I have for it that makes senesce. Have a good day

Yes I already have one, that was a liitle 'tongue in cheek' humor. I so agree with everything you say, it is an amazing piece of technology and the uses are endless. Thank you

Apps as seen in ads no longer show in iTunes. Can anyone identify the apps?
