I think we all know that Apple knows how to create a multi-windowed OS. It isn't as if they checked the calendar and realized the technology wasn't there, considering they sold a multi windowed computer in 1983. They also sold a small computer with a stylus before. Reminds me of "LoLz iPhone still doesn't have a FILE SYSTEM!" as if Apple has been trying to figure out how to implement a desktop-PC-like file system but couldn't...
Got a tip for us?

I'd love to be a fly on the wall at the meetings where they plan this stuff.
Samsung Exec #1: What should we showcase in this ad to really show what this phone can do?
Samsung Exec #2: Stylus, it's gotta be the stylus.
Samsung Exec #1: Do you think we should actually demo the stylus?
Samsung Exec #2: Oooooh, yes, and make sure the guy in the ad is using the stylus for something ridiculously stupid, something next to no one will ever have any interest in doing in real life on a piddly 5.7" screen.
Seriously? A stylus?

Ahh that makes a big difference lol...yeah right. Find anyway to justify Apple doing the same thing huh?
Dumping all my Apple products. Android is a better ecosystem.
I fully expect this to be your last comment then.
Ok I'll bite. What exactly should I not believe?
-playing the role of the blind sheep: 69Mustang.
The commercials were pretty funny to me. But seriously, what are they getting away with that I should know about?
Look at Apple Ads, what do they concentrate on? On people actually using device and making productive things.
Look at Samsung Ads, what do they concentrate on? On making fun of the biggest competitor.
What we can say from this comparison? What I can say is that Apple focusing on making things that makes people's lives easier and better and Samsung focusing on just selling you that thing just because it is better than Apple's is some perspective.

It's like all of those ads comparing their cars to the Honda Accord.
"Like the Honda Accord. . . "
"When compared to the Honda Accord . . . "
What did I do after checking out all of the cars . . .I bought the Honda Accord. It was the car everyone was trying to be like.
Also,
Can't beat the free advertising. Thanks Samsung!

Unbelievable what lack of vision Samsung has.
Is this supposed to be funny?
Cropping out people from videos and messaging them to friends is supposed to be a selling point?
It's things like this that makes Apple stand out.
I am an Apple fan but I appreciate the quality of some Samsung products. But when I see these kind of things.... It;s just sad...

Then in your case replace "iPhone" with your GS3. And for other people whatever kind of phone they have. My point stands.
Some people are professional skiers. They have sponsors and get paid decent money. Have you heard of the Olympics? It's this little game they have every four years. The best professional skiers go there to compete for medals. It's pretty crazy.
Yeah, I think part of what makes “tablet computing” such a big hit with many consumers and even many enterprises uses, is the simple, focused experience.
- Tap Email, perform email tasks.
- Tap Facebook, perform FB tasks.
- Tap {vertical app}, perform tasks.
- Tap Flappy Birds ... well, you get the point
For “out of app” communication, we have things like notifications, badges.
Removing multiple apps displayed at the same time removes “window” management, keeps things like tasks as a background concern, etc.
I almost always see people running apps sized so each one takes up most of the display (even on BIG displays like 27” iMacs). People tend to focus on a task-at-a-time. I know there’s always someone that will carp about wanting to read email, watch a video, and reply to a Tweet, er, “concurrently” on a tablet sized interface, but I’d wager that usage model is really rare, and I’d _suspect_ it’s more of an example to make a point than a real world scenario.
Even right now, I’ve got a term window open with a bunch of tabs, same with two browsers, a dev environment open (and several minimized apps: email, cal, messages, iTunes, lots of finder windows to my local FS, network drives, etc.), and I rarely stack up a couple of apps side-by-side. Notifications handles my need to know and I can respond directly as needed (or simply open the required app).
I think the eventual iOS multi-view concurrency will be in a totally different form than any current model.
Just my $0.02
No, actually a really dumb comparison would be a mini Tab vs a phone, you know, because 1 is not a phone. Breakthrough? I think they were simply pointing out the size differential.
They get lost, they need to be pulled out, found, put away, requires 2 hands.
They work, but see above. The smart phone stylus is pretty much done for.
How often is that valuable, though? For me, iOS finally getting cut/paste was awesome but I dunno how often I'd care about two apps visible at once.
I can't believe that customers would get duped by a thinner device with a better display.
And who would want to run more than one app on a tablet? Except for being able to check email while you are doing something else.
People are just sheep. Sure, Apple is behind right now, but give them a few years, and they will catch up.

You wouldn't be watching the movie but you would be listening to it, people do things like email with the TV on all the time. And whether you think it's compromising or not, people still want to do it.
It doesn't really make sense to compare by individual models, I'd say the question is how many are selling of the various sizes. And the point isn't really what's "standard", the other companies offer multiple sizes so users can get the big one or stick with a smaller one if they think the other is too big. With apple, there still isn't a bigger option and personally I love using a five inch screen. But that's just one of a number of reasons I'm not using an iPhone.
What they are saying is absolutely right. The iPhone is 1136 by 640, which is lower than 720p.
Too small for what? If I want a tablet I'll get a tablet. I need for a phone to fit into a pocket, and I don't *want* it to be thinner and thus more fragile.
Man! A lot of butt-hurt iBoys in here...
Some of you are taking this too personally lol.. Competition is good !!
Look at it this way.. a good number of people really want a larger iPhone, correct ? Would Apple ever consider [ based on the upcoming iP6 screen size rumors ] a larger screen was it not for the competition ?
All this eventually benefits the consumer .

You know, I was thinking of a similar car analogy. For many years now, the standard for small sport sedans have been the BMW 3 series. Not necessarily the best (whatever that means) and not necessarily the best selling, but it has been the model that ever other sport sedan is compared to.
Imagine if Mercedes or Audi or Lexus spent all their advertising money on how their models have more horse power or more leg room or had better fuel economy than the BMW? They would be missing the essence of why people buy sport sedans. Its about the driving experience, not the numbers.

That's what happens when they secretly know the ads are true
