A Super Bowl Ad going wild in an attempt to dissApple iPeople
Did you see Samsung's “over the top” Ad during the Super Bowl last night? Using the Super Bowl for promoting products is a clever idea, especially as Apple famously did the same thing in the 80's with the Macintosh (1984). Samsung is preparing the new Samsung Galaxy Note which will come to US on February, 19th for the big Apple-Samsung competition and started with a fun commercial on mocking on Apple fans. It's a creative way of trying to dissApple or is it just a creative barrel to get a tiny bit more sales to try to catch up with Apple? Do you think it's a good strategy?
A stylus AND The Darkness
Its been a good few months since the iPhone 4S launch, but Samsung is eager to show what must be Apple fans queing outside a familiar overly glassed shop front in their this half-time commercial. So what was the aim of this advertising campaign? To simply prevent other people from wanting to become iPeople in an iQueue or simply just some tough-in-cheek fun at Apple expense? What do you think are the legal battle loses getting to Samsung?
We have seen many Twitter comments on this topic such as “Fun commercial but terribly un-informative!” and we must agree as Samsung only concentrates on showing Apple fans and not really the gadget itself or what it does.
We still have a question: will you take the photo with the stylus or with your finger? Think about it before your special moment disappears. Do you enjoy these kind of commercials? Are you attracted by the new Samsung Galaxy Note? Is your pocket big enough to carry it with you?
Have you been iPhoned by Apple?
Against the “Media driven” tide of iPhone 4S disappointment, Apple managed to prove doubters wrong and increase their worldwide mobile phone market share to a healthy 8.3%. So, once again “Think different” showed that creative people and Apple fans alike want to stay in the Apple queue, no matter how competitive the market is.
So, the public wasn't so disappointed of the iPhone 4S, after all!
We all remember the rumors, the frenzy and the disappointment before, after and when Apple revealed the iPhone 4S. But the record revenue and the profit for the fiscal first Quarter of 2012 show in fact how popular iPhone 4S is and that the “iPhone 4S, was such a failure” hasn't become a reality in terms of sales. Is it that we are so protective and loyal over our iPhones that we can't even think on switching to another brand? Or is it that we share the same passions as Apple enjoys the ethos and thinking created?
After seeing those amazing scenes at the Apple stores in China, thousands of people, waiting in the cold for hours or even days, what can we think: brand loyalty or plain crazy?
So, are you thinking of switching to another smart-phone? Do you know an iPhone user who made the switch and why? What do you like the most and the least about your iPhone 4S?

Waterproofing the iPhone 5 may save your data, iPhone and your blushes
We all love a bit of Apple product gossip, don’t we? And iPhone 5, the most debated and anticipated Apple gadget of them all, looks like it to be waterproofed. Woot! We think it’s pretty interesting not to be able to water damage your iPhone anymore? Yes, this is the kind of practical day to day rumor that we would want implemented and available in the next generation of iPhone.
In 2011 Apple Changed Policy on Water-Damaged iPhones and iPods, due to receiving too many returned devices.
It probably happened to all of us or someone we know. It’s not unusual to hear someone say “I’d dropped my phone into the toilet”, “I went wakeboarding with my phone in my shorts at the beach”, “I spilled ice tea on my phone” and so on. This might be resolved this year by bringing “WaterBlock” Technology into the new iPhone. HzO’s proprietary WaterBlock is cutting-edge technology that protects valuable digital electronics from their number one nemesis: H2O. Powerful and invisible, WaterBlock protects devices on a molecular scale, in fact by use of a nanotech spray coating safely protecting the iPhone’s inner workings, so you can breathe easy should a water hazard arise.
Apple will probably find this to be a good investment as the water damage repairs and returns will decrease rapidly once technology is implemented. Not to mention less unhappy iPhone customers wishing they had insured their device a month earlier. Do you have a water-damage story that missed the boat on this technology, let us know?
