Samsung Bashes RIM's BlackBerry in New Commercial
Is Samsung more afraid of BB10 than we think?
We've gotten pretty used to Samsung making fun of the iPhone (and iPhone owners) in its commercials. The company has a whole series of adverts based on the fact that Apple fans tend to queue up for new products and that these new products are sometimes missing key features. However, it seems Samsung has grown tired of ragging on Apple, as it's moved on to another competitor in the smartphone space.
This time, Samsung is taking aim at Blackberry-maker RIM. The new commercial shows a company adopting something of a BYOD policy and telling companies that they can now use 'any phone they want' for work. The rest of the commercial makes a point of showing how the Blackberry users refuse to part with their old smartphones for something a little more up-to-date.

Zing!
The only point I see in this commercial is 2 different way to think: business man (a professional phone that you CAN'T install JUNK on it and that you USE JUST for business) and the "one phone rule them all" (one phone DOING EVERYTHING... that mean MIX business and personal use).
Most "big" business don't WANT THAT. You should mostly never use phone for personal call on their PHONE.
It's worst if you use their data for your personal use...
Also adding 256bit-AES encryption on the phone mean nothing. Android have few securities issues that seem unacceptable for a business model. What the importance of a 256bit-AES encryption when you stream that information unencrypted everywhere around you, cloud (any cloud could be hacked) and on Internet.
Being secure means stop security issue (where Android OS should need refactoring) and stop installing junk (something Android OS allow if you allow it).
I like Samsung... but this commercial is a miss... I fell the Unicorn Apocalypse is more important since that take half of the commercial.
The Zach Galifianakis "Clone" is interesting.... might have worked better if they really just used Zach Galifianakis.
Apple employee spotted.
Don't download apps from non-trust sources and don't download Chinese developed Apps. Problem solved.
Then put your own OS on the phone. If you bought a desktop PC from HP/Dell you know that it comes with tons of "spyware" for lack of a better term. So does your phone, the easy way to fix it is with format.
Why do all iphone owners on tom's act like douchebags in the forums?
They do, it's not their fault AT&T doesn't want them.
Try to be smarter if you are going to bash a company.
