Maybe I’m a bit biased, but seeing as I am the owner of both a Samsung Galaxy S II (SGS2) and an iPhone 4S, this new commercial by Samsung tickles my interest in ways that no other smartphone commercial can. How? By combining both phones into one awesome advertisement that is sure to make owners from each side giggle at the stereotypes presented.
In the video below, a line of over-anxious customers apparently waiting for the next iPhone are wrapped around the block, nine hours before the phone actually releases. Surprise. In this line, you’ll find your stereotypical early-bird campers and fanboys, all singing their various praises for the Apple device (though never clearly admitting they’re actually in line for the iPhone — legal reasons, maybe?).
The campers are soon distracted by the impressively-large screen of a mobile user nearby who appears to be watching a video on her phone, the SGS2. More campers are stunned as another passerby carrying the SGS2 pauses to hail a cab, immediately asking to get a closer look at his device.
Basically, it’s a hilarious and clever concept. And not that I enjoy encouraging this sort of thing, but I’d be happy to see Apple come back with an even better and more-creative commercial in return. All in the name of new and innovative marketing campaigns, right? Right. Your move, Apple.
Take a peek for yourself in the video below.


















Well it is obvious that Samsung started this just prior to the holiday shopping frenzy, iPhone has overall consideration rate within consumers and is gaining market share within the business enterprise. In our company alone they replaced every single highly expensive business telephone with a iPhone docked into a ifusion smart station running Cisco mobile app. I now have one devise for all my personal and business communications needs. They told us all the power saving alone in one year from the old desk phone paid for the entire project. Nobody at this point can come close to this however please try for us consumers really enjoy all the new and innovated products developed from the spirit of competition.

Likedigital_algebraiPhone 4S supports AT&T's faster HSDPA 14.4 network, the same seed as "4g." However, no network reaches this. 4g is basically a gimmick, not reaching it's full potential.

Likejurikn12 Dude, it doesn't even support hspa+, which is 21 mbps, 42 mbps on T-Mobile, and has been around for a long time. LTE peaks at 300 mbps. No, 14 mbps is not 4g. So which guy were you in the commercial?

Like@Drew Nusser jurikn12 I too have both phones , big screen is great for Netflix .... But without the Apple market it's just a phone with a big screen. Feels like a toy, iPhone is my go to too for everything else .

Likenyjoem Eh...I went through two iPhones and got bored. I personally think that the bigger screen, faster speeds (data and cpu), better battery life, and freedom to customize the user experience make my Android less of a toy and more of a tool. If the market is the only thing that's better on iOS, wouldn't that make the iPhone more of a toy? Most of the stuff in the App Store is junk you'll never use anyway. That's why my iPhones are sitting on my dresser, but my Android goes everywhere with me.

Like@Drew Nusser nyjoem Even with task killer every Android phone I have owned has had very short battery life. It is very nice to be able use only one hand to text and the wireless AirPlay with apple TV that mirrors everything on my iPhone to my 60" t v is amazing To top that I have to use my iPad 2 Android will alway be trying to be what Apple is

Likenyjoem I'm assuming that it's been a little while since you had a new Android then. They definitely were playing catch up for a while, probably until about 8 months to a year ago in fact. Judging by the fact that you have an iPhone, iPad 2, and an Apple TV, I think I can safely assume that you're an iFan that will never try anything else again because you're comfortable inside your halo. However, Android offers a bunch more features, more options, faster speeds, and quite a few offer better battery life. Oh, and AirPlay is cool, but why not just use DLNA? It's compatible with plenty of other devices (outside the halo). And what was it that you meant by it's nice to be able to text with one hand? You can CHOOSE the size of your Android phone - something Apple will never offer. I have a 4" Atrix and can easily text with one thumb (built-in Swype makes it even easier). I'm not trying to get into an argument here, I'm just letting you know that Android has come a long way and you should give it another try, but with a recent phone.

Like@Drew Nusser lol my first post said I have the Galaxy S11 so I tried DLNA with my Samung hub tv thingy I hated the whole look and feel of it. I like my Glaxy just not as happy with things like built in camera,Video/chatt market that mostly suxs no iTunes :.( I'm waiting to see if Ice cream makes it any better if not wen i5 comes out its bye bye Android! What's your take on the tablets? Do you really think anyone wants them? Even if they out preform iPad their content still is only so so

Likenyjoem Yeah, I missed that. My bad. Honestly, I don't see the point in tablets yet. It might just be that I haven't had one, so I just don't know how awesome they are. People say they replace laptops, but I use my laptop for schoolwork and developing, which I can't really do as well on a tablet. If I do get a tablet, it'll probably be the Asus Transformer Prime, because of the 18 hr life, keyboard, and the console-quality game graphics. I know the iPad definitely has more tablet-specific apps, but I don't think I'd use many of them, and I got bored of iOS with my iPhones. So your S2 doesn't get good battery life? I see people reporting that it's doing great on 3 days without a charge! That sucks that your's isn't doing well, but it's hard to believe that the iPhone is doing any better. Oh, also, out of curiosity, what's the difference between face time and the built in video chat in Android?
