This. I paged through comments until finding someone who had the same reaction - what a jerk of a dad that he can't spend time and let his kid watch a video - he keeps pulling it away to check his game or whatever and rolls his eyes and looks at the kid like he is a major pain in the bottom. My impression was NOT "split screen / multitask on screen - what a great feature" (which it actually is) but "WHAT A LOUSY DAD!"
Got a tip for us?

Can you view youtube and take notes in pages at the same time?
Win XP Tablet edition had multitouch before iPhone existed, but hey, it isn't a Apple or Microsoft thing right?
Very good point and question! Perhaps those with technical knowledge will discuss.
I would imagine that Bestbuy is a store selling both iPad and tablets with AMOLED screens, like the new Samsung Tab S series. Costco has started selling iPads again and has greatly reduced their warehouse and online inventory of Samsung tablets. Sams Club might be a place selling both.
People get multiple kids... Don't project your short comings on other people.

Same reason the iPad mini has a low quality LCD. Profit.
Yeah, I'd find it really useful too... which is why I'm almost always using my laptop.
You could argue that it'd be just as handy in a tablet, but for me and probably for a lot of people, only if the screen gets considerably bigger. Current tablet screens leave you in no man's land for multitasking. They're big enough to do more than one thing, but not big enough to do it comfortably.
So then they'll introduce bigger and bigger tablets... maybe they'll even call them laplets. Scores of people will buy them and then attach them to third party cases with keyboards attached.
Hello laptop.
having both apple products and samsung products I love reading the comments on stories like this
Take off your filter bias. The PC was portrayed as non desirable and it is a jab at its users, it says "you want to be fat or fit guy?".
If HTC made their add in the same style, you would just go "it's funny and good-natured" right... I bet on not, you would be up in arms in here.

Just see the responses on an ad that just explains what their tablet does better... There isn't even a "apple users are ugly nerds" subtheme.

I assume you are being sarcastic or trying to sound like a smart azz. But....
Maybe when apple included an email application on the ipad that makes it easier to consolidate and read emails for those of us that have more than one email account.
Or Samsungs reflect reality more than an Apple ad. It's not the 1950's where everyone is having a great life.
There are/used to be a few:
- Brightness issues: The screen of an AMOLED display is determined by how bright the pixels are, however OLEDs aren't particular efficient as of yet, meaning the brightness is limited. I'm actually not sure how well AMOLED has caught up as of yet.
- Longevity issues: The main problem back when OLED were still experimental was the longevity of the blue (I think) OLEDs. While the red and green subpixels lasted sufficiently long, the blue ones lost brightness after a few months, causing display failure. I know the problem is still there, I'm just not so sure how bad it is.
- Color accuracy: Color is a little problematic when it comes to OLED, as it's completely determined by the chemistry of the OLEDs. In LCD you have the light source, the liquid crystals and the pigments (which are well studied). This generally gives you more/easier control. This problem is solved, as far as I know.
These commercials were so poorly executed its not even funny. The fact that they have to say "whats wrong in this picture?" and then explain the situation makes it a horrible commercial. A good commercial(especially when bashing competitors) makes the consumer figure out the positives. You as a brand don't point it out to them. A good example to this is the Mercedes Benz chicken commercial which was replied to by Jaguar with an amazing commercial. Anyone recall that one? Samsung failed.
Yeah, Samsung puts out a confusing number of tablets. Here is a link to the Tab S 10.5 32 GB at Bestbuy: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-galaxy-tab-s-10-5-32gb/7093009.p?id=1219250430282&skuId=7093009&st=categoryid$pcmcat209000050006&cp=1&lp=5
Simple
Companies just need a small SF on the outside if their products, as small as a TM or R. The small SF just assures customers that their product is, "Samsung Free."
If this could extend to all portable devices and even appliances, it would allow customers to truly be happy with their purchase, content that there are no Samsung parts inside.
We can also push Apple to make "Samsung free" products. I would love this, and I think that a lot of customers would search these products out...like an energy saver sticker.

Considering Samsung makes among other things, the best screens and the best ssd's, you have fun with you inferior devices.
You know, all these arguments just sound silly. In the end, samsung and apple both get the consumers' money. Really, none of your arguments will win in the end because marketing and sales win in the end. We're all just consumers who fall for these traps, and we're basically fuelling all these shenanigans that these companies are pulling.
Apple has always been like this.
Never ever believe Apple chooses something simply because it's the best.
There is a lot of Personal Opinion in Apple products and dumb ideas.
Now Jobs has gone this bias may fade a bit and Apple gets better in offering things people may want rather than telling them what one guy things they should have.
Apple has nothing to sing and dance about re it's screens in comparison to others. First, they don't make screens, they just use others panels, The same way Dell and Apple use the same panel in monitors. And Apple can make them worse due to the way they use the panel.
I'm not even going to bother to google "Apple Yellow Screen"
Ok, I did.... lol... 124,000,000 items google found.
I remember handling an early demo version of a Windows touchscreen laptop/tablet sometime around 2000. I was walking through the Minneapolis-St.Paul airport when I passed by a kiosk and a woman approached me with a chunky looking bookish object and handed it to me.
I was impressed. It was a Windows NT machine with touch sensitive screen. It was only a demo/prototype model, but it worked well enough from my short test drive.
For years, I wondered what happened that I never saw that device out in the wild.
