Samsung's New Galaxy Tab TV Ad Feels a Lot Like an Apple iPad Ad

It isn't spam. It's 100% germane to the topic.

You don't have to read it or even respond to it.

The link you provided has to do with Samsung and South Korean politics.

It has nothing to do with this topic, so stop driving it off topic.

It only makes apple fanboys look weak on debate.

And companies like Samsung has always some kind of controversy regarding their national politic. Just like how Sony and Toshiba debacle in Japan involving their politic dramas.

Every person that buys an Android device no matter how crappy, is one less person buying an Apple.. yes!!!:D

The only innovation Apple has left is patent litigation innovation. They have stooped to a new low by dealing partnering with patent troll companies to sue their competitors. If the Apple fanboys dont think that is low enough to stop buying apple then clearly you are proven iSheep.

I know at least five of those people that after buying an Android device, returned it and bought iPhones. Some people need to suffer once to learn a lesson.
 
Is it my imagination or is the little girl the same girl from the iPhone 4S commercials. I could care less, but I know actors can't shoot commercials for competing markets.
 
It's so sad. These guys are like the little brother always trying to imitate his big brother. Maybe they will grow out of it like children do. Why copy the style of ad? They are really flattering apple.
 
In relation to some of the negative comments directed toward Arn in the first couple of pages here. I will say I love Apple, and love reading the articles posted here. Keep up the good work.

With that being said, I love my Samsung 3D TV, but otherwise I wouldn't be caught dead with a Samsung phone, or tablet. It just seems like they're not even trying anymore. Where would these guys even be without Apple?!

4) Mikes. Using old style microphones is a time honored way of showing voice input. Below is an example of a 2007 HTC voice recorder, predating the iPhone's:

And below here is Apple's voice input icon on their keyboard, long after Android had the same thing:

Ahh but none of them predate the 1990 Mac IIsi microphone do they?

Maybe that "time honoured" way came from somewhere...

This whole stealing debarcle of Apple's marketing and product design cheapens their whole product line to me.
They are just a bunch of cheapskate fxxking copying dimwits, I will never buy a Samsung product again...
 
Oh oh, better watch it. Apple is going to try and patent sentimental commercials with children and parents in them now. Because until Apple came along, we never saw one of those.

LOL.

Asian companies will never be truly successful until they stop the culture of copying the West. That's the truth. Sony, you may remember, started postwar as another Japanese brand that made knockoffs. They got to be a world company by inventing and innovating. Sony's first pocket transistor radio was the iconic device of the early, pop-infused '60s. It was something that American electronics firms hadn't done.

Samsung 2010:
Revenue: $220 billion
Total Assets: $347 billion
Equity: $141 billion

Looks pretty successful to me. And that's 2010 numbers. FY11 results will most likely be higher.

I think there is copying going on, but more in the mid/high end segment car industry.

There is some great and unique design in the high end notebook market for example. You just don't find that stuff at a crappy Best Buy or Office Depot. Sony's Vaio Z Signature Line, the Asus's Leather / Bamboo Notebooks a few years ago or Samsungs Series 9 are good examples.

Another example: would you prefer the design of a US made TV from, let's say Westinghouse or a Sony or Samsung? I didn't think so either...

Most technology and innovation in our little tech toys was - and is Asian. Western hardware "Makers" like Apple, Dell, HP etc. are really only hardware "Assemblers".

Derp samsung suck herpa derp stolen iOS derpa Derp i hate everything Samsung because my messiah told me to derpa derp copying apple derrrrrrpppppaaaaaa deeeeerrrrrrpppp.
 
Samsung has blatantly copied Apple, both in design, and product,as well as advertising mode, I get so tired of companies riding the crest of the wave of someone else. We have patent laws that protect our products, to bad the rest of the world doesn't see it this way, I guess suing is the only retort

That is the most used microphone design. Even Google uses it.

Go and read my post again including the original by kdarling's.

It's the most used now. But not in 1990 when Apple launched the Mac IIsi and used that icon on the plug and socket.

Considering Google was only founded in 1998, I am 100% sure that Google wasn't using it back then. So kdarling's claim that that Android used this icon before Apple is completely false.

Actually, when Microsoft set the standards for PCs in their PC99 specification, the icon used for the microphone was this:

Not the old style used by Apple. But somewhere along the line the industry came to prefer the style used by Apple.

Erm that's an ad for a REAL microphone. Not an icon. You really can't tell the difference?

I think he's trying to gently point out that such microphones have been around since the late 1930s, and thus their use as a symbol followed shortly thereafter.

And no, I'm not saying Google came first either. I'm saying that the photo montage that claimed Google copied Apple's use of a vintage microphone, is bogus.

I agree that various symbols have been popular at different times over the years.
 
Best answer

Best answer for plagiarism is to let it be and move on and invent something much better.
Halo wake up.
Halo
Halo Apple wake up.
You still sleeping?

Yeah .. that's because Samsung makes TV, computer, refrigerator, air conditioner, vacuum cleaner, mixer, juicer, hair dryer, fax machine, photocopier, smartphone copier, iOS copier LOL

Considering Apple has $80 billion in asset and only makes computer, notebook, iPad, iPod, iPhone and some accessories, Apple is pretty much more successful than Samsung.
