Okay. See the hands at left grasping greedily for the giant diamond? That’s supposed to represent the mobile web … and the faceless villains that will immediately try to exploit it.

This is the first of a three-part video series that explains the whole “4G=IP” thing to people that buy tech items, such as iPods, primarily because they like the pretty colours.

We’re suckers for smooth animated magic — and for Cisco in general — so we kept our eyes on the piece, which was a comfortable length and not too stuffed with strange-sounding geek noises. It’s possible we even learned things.

That squeaky Adventures in Odyssey-sounding narrator kinda pissed us off though.
