Bob Dylan silhouette ad

Apple has created (and now posted) a new silhouette-style television ad touting iTunes and iPod. The new commercial features silhouetted Bob Dylan wearing an iPod while performing a song from his new album, Modern Times, which is available for pre-order from the iTunes Music Store and is expected to be released on Tuesday. iProng reports that the ad differs from any of Apple's previous silhouette ads "in that the ad features mostly black and white coloring as opposed to the traditional pink, yellow, blue, and green," but did not provide any details on where the ad was first sighted. The commercial is not yet available online at Apple's website. However, users can pre-order the album with four bonus videos and and special fifth video along with pre-sale Ticketmaster access for tickets to Dylan's upcoming tour for all pre-orders. (Yesterday, Apple also debuted three new "Get A Mac" commercials.) [updated: images after the jump]
