Samsung’s smartphone and tablet strategy, which seemingly consists of copying Apple at every turn, continues to get deeper by the day.

Despite a slew of Android manufacturers in the marketplace, the bulk of Apple’s Android related efforts center on Samsung. While certain Android manufacturers like Motorola and HTC arguably put their own spin on Android, Samsung’s implementation is seemingly copied part and parcel from Apple’s iPhone.

Comments Off on Samsung Galaxy S II ad makes fun of Apple users… again
In an effort to drum up sales for the Galaxy S II, Samsung a few weeks ago released a commercial poking fun at Apple fanboys, mocking the somewhat unique-to-Apple dynamic of waiting in line for hours on end in anticipation of a new Apple product.

Comments Off on Samsung hoping to release 11.6-inch tablet with Retina Display before the iPad 3
Samsung has done an impressive job of giving Apple’s iPhone a run for its money with its line of Galaxy smartphones.
