The Samsung Doth Advertise Too Much, Methinks
At CES, the AOL booth where we worked, did interviews, and ate lunch was just a few short feet from Samsung's huge Galaxy Note booth, where they were giving out free shirts printed with your caricature, drawn, of course, on a Galaxy Note. There was a line around this thing the entire time we were there, scores of people waiting for hours for their free t-shirt.Outside CES there were enormous banners in the most prominent and expensive ad spots on the convention center. Phone? Tablet? It's Galaxy Note!And just yesterday, in a grandiose ad rather out of keeping with their well-received "next big thing" campaign, the Note was made out to be the end of all our troubles, ending the tyranny of using our fingers and letting us circle and cross out and all those things you wish you could do on your obviously-now-obsolete iPhone.But I saw the Note at CES and formed my opinion in about five or six seconds: it's weak. And that's why this advertising blitz makes so much sense.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/iPEv0cqpwzE/
