Samsung Galaxy Tab ad credits Apple for its popularity

The really sad part is that Samsung really thinks this is a good thing.

So Samsung's advertising strategy is to mock users for their enthusiasm for the iPhone. With the Tab, they wish to appear rebellious in the face of patent infringement. Something tells me this ad agency is run by the same people who dismissed every popular trend with cynicism and irony in high school to appear cool and non-comformist.

Why don't they just show the great features of the product over the iPad? Are there any?

Funny that they're feeling proud of getting into trouble by being a copycat. Shameless, Samsung. The moment I saw a Galaxy Tab I knew it would suck. Seriously, the feel of it in your hands is enough to turn people off. I know it did on me. Cheap plastic. Don't get me started on the Android inside.

When has stoping competition been considered good taste? Everyone copies everyone. It's how you progress technology.

Yet it is also the tablet that nobody buys or even cares about. Try harder Samsuck.

Well said Dan. It's sad that it takes a competitor like Apple to market and "interest" consumers in your product.... What had you been doing before that Samsung?? I'm not sure that once the consumer looks at it, they'll want it. I know I didn't...

I thought Samsung's Marketing policy was to trick consumers into thinking they were buying an iPad.
If the Galaxy Tab is now a "Household Name", wouldn't that consumer awareness negatively affect sales?

Apple is also seen as a bastion of good taste over commercial decisions. If Apple tried to stop the Galaxy Tab, it was in the interest of good taste.
