I remember discussion on this thread about possible "go brain go" ad campaign but don't remember reading about actual ads. Sorry if this has been posted already.

In the September 1999 issue of Fast Company, on page 158, there's a full page ad for the pdQ.

The copy reads:

The conscious mind will probably take credit for this, too.

Introducing the pdQ Smartphone.
But it's more than just a phone.
It utilizes the Palm computing platform.
It can access e-mail and the internet,
and signal when you've got a voice mail.*
The way we see it, your mind can
do some pretty amazing things.
Sometimes you simply need to get
out of its way. Go brain go.(TM)

*Depending on services available from your carrier.
