They already have a dedicated store in store for Samsung at PC World Teesside Park, Middlesbrough, the same shop has a dedicated Apple shop also.
 
Considering Samsung has been around since 1938, I'm sure they've had stores for a long time. I've seen Samsung booths like that inside other stores for years, just because Best Buy are having them now they have to be copying?

Even if they did so what? You're complaining that they're having a store? Is Apple the only company allowed to have them?

You said exactly what I was thinking.
 
Congrats to SAMEsung on their "Cloni-NNOVATION". So there are complaints that Apple has lost its innovation, thus the decline in offering any new "revolutionary" wireless hardware or software. I seem to notice that Samsung seems to have cloned that too... as there are complaints that the Galaxy S IV isn't innovative enough or revolutionary enough and simply a hardware upgrade. Is there nothing they can't copy? ;)

The idea of having a dedicated area to sell your products within a larger store was a wholly original idea invented by Apple back in 1943.

Everyone knows that. :rolleyes:
 
Samsung GS4 looks interesting. Might just sell this phone to try it out. Never tried anything other then an iPhone but the GS4 might change my mind :)
 
Face to face help, yes.

I don't think you can argue that Apple has pretty good customer service. Assuming you are in a location where you can actually GO INTO A STORE. You realize that it's not an option for everyone.

So where you buy your device is who you deal with. And I've never had an issue with my Skyrocket save for one easy fix - and ATT was quite helpful.

But let's be real - you're just slamming Samsung to slam Samsung. It's not like YOU really have to worry about where you're going to take your phone.
 
I just don't get why Samsung irritates people here so much...

If you tell me: but it affects stocks and you only have 1-2 shares, please don't reply... :)

I prefer my iPhone over any Android... And I am developing both on both platforms and really love objective-c... I should have a stronger opinion on this, but I don't...

I have had Samsung products in the past and liked them. My first cell phone was a Sammy flippy thing...

ya you can do some cool stuff with it, like photostream, icloud syncing with your ipad and mac, apps like Garageband, iPhoto, iBooks, iTunes, iTunes U, Find my phone, Find my friends, Infinity Blade, iWork, iMovie... and it's so small and light that you cant even feel it in your front pocket.

Oh wait...
 
I wonder if Samsung will use Apple icons and graphics in their display booth again to draw people in?
 
The thing is, the Apple 'store within a store' concept wasn't original, at least here in the UK anyway, so I don't get what the big deal is?
 
Is that the only way you can get technical support?

Seriously kid, I manage hundreds of mobile devices in an enterprise. Most of them iPad and iPhones, some android. When an iPad or iPhone breaks, I get it replaced in an hour by taking it to the apple store. When an android breaks, which is way too often, it takes weeks.
 
So let me get this strait, some people believe that apple invented in store shopping "stands"? too much stupid to comprehend.
