Watching some Monday Night Football and just saw this commercial for the iPad 2 on Verizon. Has anyone seen it?

I know commercial advertising takes a lot of liberties, but nearly all the scenes show people using the iPad 2 outdoors under bright sunlight! Hah. Anyone who has used any smartphone or tablet (with a non e-ink display), knows it's pretty unenjoyable under bright sunlight.

Has anyone seen this Verizon / iPad 2 commercial? All the scenes are outdoors.
I noted the same thing about the commercial, but with the opposite observation. I thought it was humorous that the last scene has someone taking a photo during a nighttime campout! First of all, if you have your tablet with you (any tablet), I question whether that's called camping. But second, how good is a photo taken with that camera in that situation?
Yeah, I saw that commercial on Sunday while watching football and chuckled myself. Will people sue if they buy one expecting to read on a lawn chair in the sun? Does the 2 still overheat outdoors like the first one did?
