The Star Trek Super Bowl ad makes use of Apple's new App Store Short Links to direct you to the app, observes CNET.
Developers can now create easy-to-read links to their app using 'App Store Short Links', which use the AppStore.com base URL plus a specific form of the app or company name. This provides a simple way for users to apps on the App Store directly from website or marketing campaigns.
Examples:
Company Name: ● iOS: http://appstore.com/ for example, http://appstore.com/smule ● Mac: http://appstore.com/mac/ for example, http://appstore.com/mac/popcap
App Name: ● iOS: http://appstore.com/ for example, http://appstore.com/ocarina ● Mac: http://appstore.com/mac/ for example, http://appstore.com/mac/peggle
App by Company ● iOS: http://appstore.com// for example, http://appstore.com/smule/ocarina ● Mac: http://appstore.com/mac// for example, http://appstore.com/mac/popcap/peggle
