Samsung Continues to Poke Fun at Apple Fans in Super Bowl Ad

Ok. Yes. It's true. But Apple touts things every keynote that are nothing new. Go ahead and argue that they've "made them better" - but many times that's subjective. I still remember watching Steve introduce copy/paste as if it was something that had never been thought of before... and laughing hysterically.
So basically if you lose your stylus your phone becomes useless since you can't do anything on it?
Nice one Samsung
Wow. Some of you just aren't very smart, or are just unwilling to read.
The stylus used on the Note is pressure sensitive and has a fine tip. Thus it works better for drawing or writing. It is not one of those hideous fat tipped non-pressure-sensitive pens that are basically the size of your finger, rendering it completely pointless.
You are about as likely to lose it as the case on your phone, given how there's a slot on the device to hold it when not in use.
No, you do not NEED to use it. You can still use your finger
This is something different? Looks like a clone of the iPhone to me.[/QUOTE]
Really? The screen on this is larger than the entire iPhone. Oh, and it looks nothing like an iPhone. Yet you tell me it looks like a clone? You just can't please some people.
So do you have a Nexus One, Nexus S or Galaxy Nexus?
Curious- since when did larger = dated? It's as slim as a Galaxy S II, the only part large about it is the screen (and as a result, the housing). I wouldn't say an iPad or 27" iMac is implied to be dated as it's large...?

Apples selling point: our products do this
Samsungs selling point: you don't have to wait in lines to get them -_-
Also, as far as the article goes I can't believe that *****

Well....That was probably the intent. I love the iPhone, so why wouldn't I love something that resembled it but was big enough to use without having to wear my reading glasses?
It all comes down to Android. If I don't like it, the phone goes back.

I haven't actually seen the ad in question. Nor do I have a strong opinion about the product. I am not looking for an alternative to iOS or Apple myself as I have never been less than pleased with anything I've bought from the company.
I am however convinced a lot of people are misjudging what Samsung might aim at with this line of "anti Apple" ads. The more off a fanboy you are, the more likely you are to be offended by Samsung's output here. Also. The more UNlikely you are to ever buy one of Samsung's phones or tablets.
I believe what Samsung are simply trying to achieve is to position themselves as THE alternative to Apple. At the moment that would be a great position to be in. They don't need to "out-cool" Apple, they just want to be seen as the obvious other place to go. This series of ads combined with press about litigation between the two companies should help hammer this message home.

Forget fanboism for a moment and ask, what the hell did Samsung bring to the game in that commercial? Nothing.
Apple haters call us Apple fanboys sheep or some variation, but guess what. All these companies want us to be their sheep.
Sammy did nothing to interest me in that galaxy note.
Sammy is just another huge, tech dumper. They have so much crap on the market it ain't even funny.
Nokia, just a few year ago, had like 160 different cell phones. I remember going to their website back in 2005 and being blown away at all the sh** they had from mediocre phones to full blown smart phones. Then iPhone came out. iPhone is everything ALL of those Nokia phones were but rolled up into one phone.
Samsung is the same way. And when that Apple tv come out , Sammy is going to sh** bricks.

If Apple was as low as Samsung - they could come up with adding showing people dropping Android phones in Garbage can while going into Apple store.
I don't understand how people believe this stuff - it total misinformation. To be honest I laugh when I see one those big ones - you can't put it in your pocket. I love the size of iPhone - it is perfect.

Are you serious right now? The first Android phone with a front facing camera was released in late 2010!!!! WAY LATER THAN THE IPHONE 4!!!!
Unless of course you meant the first 3G videophone in which case it would be a Nokia from late 2003.
Maybe people don't have to wait in line for Android because they keep selling a different variant every month or so and no great rush to get the latest. If a product sells good - you have to stand in line for it. This happens a lot with game consoles.
My first thoughts were, Stylus, that's so 90's. And then realizing it doesn't fit in your pocket, so what's the point?
Actually shows what a foolish company Samsung is.
Do you seriously believe people will buy a product based on this.
I wonder why they chose a song by a "One Hit Wonder" to promote their product? Subliminal message perhaps?

You do remember the Im a PC, Im a Mac commercials dont you? Similar premise. Maybe a little more effective than the Samsung commercial.
