I don't know her, but from what I've seen on youtube videos she's made herself with some friends, her personality isn't too far off from the commercial.
Uhm, it looks like the Galaxy Note IS popular for being a niche product after all.
Good job, to both Apple and Samsung
My friend has the Note and its actually really cool esp. the larger screen that means i can actually type without hitting the wrong letters
Im considering getting one too.
I could watch Zooey Deschanel walk around in her pajamas for hours.
The Samsung "Note" ads all look great until you realize that since the device has no idea what you wrote, you'll need to transcribe all the text so you can use it; including word searching and finding expressions. Might as well scribble your prose on a scrap of paper.

Well, you might as well buy a iPod 2 and really type easily, or get the New iPad where you can do voice dictation and not bother typing at all. With these iDevices you can also chose from 10,000 apps and really get your jollies off.
Beats the hell out of Note one-trick-pony.

I know. As an Android user, I've considered upgrading from my Galaxy S2 (4.3") because it feels too small to me sometimes
I could never be an iPhone owner, that's for sure.
Damn.
Every time I see that Samsung Galaxy Note "Best of a Phone and Tablet" ad, I wish my iPhone hand PEN INPUT.
I came to the iPhone from the Palm platform and still use a Wacom tablet for all my graphics work, so "finger painting" does not cut it for me at all.
The Samsung people know that this is the ONLY place that Apple is vulnerable and are going after it.
I hope that Apple gives us PEN INPUT sooner rather than later.

Don't care..
Don't care, don't care, don't care...
Damn, give us some Mac rumors!
I don't care who liked some stupid TV ads, they do not influence my buying
I don't care how many Androids are sold. or how many analysts think will sell
I don't care about the iPhone 5 or whatever it is going to be called. The chips to support it aren't ready in volume yet. It will be out this fall.
I don't care about Apple TV's or iPanels until they are actually released, because until then they are just a "hobby". Besides the whole streaming video market has been screwed up by the media companies. And not much worth watching either.
And there won't be another new iPad in a while, so don't care about them either.
Intel as released new CPUs. ATI has released new mobile GPUs. Previous rumor were "supplies constrained". If Apple is making new Macbook Pro and Mac Pros, the factories have to be building up an inventory of them. Parts are being fabricated.
Can't some FoxConn slave sneak out a ribbon cable or an Enter key in a body cavity to show us that something is coming?
"Mac Rumors" is not much of a "rumors" site anymore. Like most Apple sites now it is just regurgitating media nonsense. No inside info.
Not even a decent Tim Cook sighting in at least a week.

I liked Zooey in SyFy's movie, "Tin Man". Clever retelling of Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz.
(There's still a section of the original Yellow Brick Road in Peekskill, NY that a young Frank Baum often walked when he was in military academy. )
As for the Samsung Note, I along with many others are hoping that Verizon hurries up with their version (reportedly called the Journal).

Still think the first iPhone 3G ad was one of the best (followed by the similar 3GS ad). Clever ads.

I was asking myself the same question...
Here you can see them all:
https://www.acemetrix.com/spotlights/top-ads/top-mobile-phone-ads-2012-ytd/
It says in the article: "See the ads a acemetrix.com"
https://www.acemetrix.com/spotlights/top-ads/ace-metrix-ad-of-the-week/
Didn't you get the meme? We're living in a "post-PC" era, who cares about desktops, power systems and professionals who make a living and need work stations? I want a new iPhone to replace last years, cause the one I have is already dated. What is a "Mac Pro"? Is that a new 15" MacBook Air?! Who needs more than one display? An iPad or MacBook Pro "ought to be enough for anybody."

iPhone, iPad, Ad Infinitum!
The talks all about iPhones & iPads, iPhones & iPads, iPhones & iPads & all I want to do is buy (and read about) a new iMac!
I need one for video editing. My current iMac that's 3 1/2 years old is no longer adequate. The fastest iMac now offered is:
3.4GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
16GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 4x4GB
2TB Serial ATA Drive + 256GB Solid State Drive
AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2GB GDDR5
Apple Magic Mouse + Magic Trackpad
What O what will the new one be like & can I order it in the first 30 seconds after it's introduced (and don't talk to me about Mac Pro on my retired person's income:O)

...many of them sucked even before the turtlenecked overlord passed away.
In particular, those with explicit or implied falsehoods.
"First 64-bit desktop..." - LOL not.
Mac vs PC commercials come to mind...
That's a really good point, but I never felt that the mac vs pc ads were jokes made at anyone's expense. They weren't trying to make PC users feel stupid, they were trying to make the PCs themselves seem clunky and inferior.
Samsung is directly and intentionally trying to insult iPhone users, and it comes off as really petty, cheap, and desperate. The Mac vs PC ads were a clever way to get PC users to consider buying a Mac, people who previously had never given it much thought and were themselves stuck in stereotypes, like "switching is too hard" and "Macs are too expensive." The Samsung ads however seem designed specifically NOT to convert iPhone customers. They seem designed only to retain current Samsung customers, at the expense of actually alienating iPhone customers.
So for me, the Mac vs PC ads seemed clever and all in good fun. I don't know a PC user who didn't laugh at them, whether they owned a Mac or not. But the Samsung ads are preaching to the choir, insulting one user group just to make their customers feel better. The Mac vs PC ads were never about making Mac users feel better about themselves. The Apple ads reflected topics that someone buying a computer needs to consider, like software packages and reliability. The Samsung ads were all about feeling cool and hip and different, and not feeling like a mindless follower. And that doesn't really have anything to do with buying a Smartphone.* And when Apple said "Think Different" they didn't have to make fun of PC users to get their point across. They just said it.
I won't say that Apple is innocent of trying to make PC users feel a little less hip, but I don't remember them directly making fun of them, portraying them as dumb, fad-humping sheep. While Apple was insulting their competitor's product, Samsung is insulting their competitor's customers. That's the key difference. Apple gave those devices personalities that they felt reflected the design and user experiences of each device, not the people who use them. The point was for the viewer to decide which device's "personality" was something they wanted to use and have in their home. Samsung is portraying heavily sterotyped personalities of the users themselves. Remember, John Hodgman wasn't portraying a PC user. He was portraying a PC itself. Samsung is portraying Apple users.
And I'm not saying you're necesarilly wrong, this is all just my opinion of these two ads. To each their own. Also, I have no hate for Samsung, even if I'm not impressed with their current products. I really liked their Super Bowl ad that had The Darkness performing in a huge sponteneous street party. They took a higher road with that one.
*Which I realize is rampant in advertising these days, ads that don't relate to the product. But it's still dumb. I saw an ad on TV last night that was all about some independent filmmaker being accepted into Sundance. The ad was for Bing. I mean how the hell does that make any sense? Why would that make anyone want to use Bing? Ads can be so stupid.
