Any particular reason why it should have been? (Samsung is definitely not Japanese, either.)
Wow, android wear, android TV, Amazon's FireTV, 3 different Smartwatch platforms from Samsung, 12'' Tablets all caused by just Apple Rumors. It seems like even the rumors of a new Apple product is enough to start competition. I wonder what will happen when Apple releases real products.
"Architecture Multimodal Interactions" -- hee hee. With a catchy name like that how can it not be a roaring success?
To be fair Samsung has been building plenty of its S-Health products for a few years now. This is a natural evolution of that.
Apple does things different, they wait until nearly everything in the system is made, tested and meets their approval before launching a service.

ERM? I guess this is aimed at more of the professional market? call me old fashioned but I would MUCH rather have a hospital measure my ECG as opposed to a watch like device!
These devices are either going to make you become a hypocondriact and visit you're doctor more, or you will do the opposite and visit your doctor less because some watch band tells you your fine.
I wouldn't wear a thing like that but I do I like the LG G Watch?

A face only a mother could love
Gee, I don't know about you, but I think graphics of that quality, with a whole screen full of numbers, will sell like crazy!

I don't know if it's purely what rumors of Apple's next market to hit is or if everyone just uses logic and knows that these things (wearables, the livingroom/family room, post-PC era devices) are where the war is next.
Apple is rumored to be working on a system to control home devices. Google announced (though never launched) something like that back at Google I/O 2011 when they announced Android @ Home. But I would not say Apple is copying them or any other company going after that market, it just is a market that is up for grabs. Just like the smartphone market was (not created by Apple, but made immensely better because of it).
To be fair your suggesting Samsung is copying a product no one outside of Apple knows exists or not. I know they have a track record of doing this but seriously. Now if you had called it preemptive copying, that would make sense. Samsung just moved up the time tables a bit.
Would be funny if Tim Cook, during his keynote, walked on stage with a big photocopy machine. He would place an iPhone on the glass and press the green button. Then, a Samsung phone would pop out! This is to illustrate that Samsung is only capable of copying Apple and nothing else
Dear Samsung, I heard that Apple is planning to build an underground train line from my house to the city. TIA.
Whether they come up with the idea or not, they do come out with the product. When did Apple last have an idea or a product to share with the world?
It really does seem that way, and it seems kind of embarrassing, too. The 'first' hype usually isn't big enough to carry a product unless products launched after aren't as good.
It'll be interesting to see what Apple launches - if they launch anything. Samsung may wish they'd waited before rushing to market.
koolaid must taste good.What I find amazing about that is how stupid that is. They announce it a couple days earlier, get to say first, then apple news comes out and everyone forgets about it. Smart thing to do would wait until a couple days after, when everyone is saying how much whatever apple announced is underwhelming and nothing new.
This is just ****ing disgusting by Shamesung. They just officially outright copy everything Apple does. They don't even bother to change it up a little. Even the ****ing UI is copied from ios 8 renderings. Pathetic. Why don't they actually innovate and bring something new and useful to the consumers instead of just creating a cheap copy of another company's idea?
