The Nexus devices are pretty much the only originals in Samsung’s line-up, and that’s probably just because they weren’t allowed to just make them into KIRFs like the rest of their models. The S3 doesn’t look like an iPhone, but then it’s just a Galaxy Nexus with better specs and TouchWiz. Samsung doesn’t deserve to win this case because Apple has a point.

anyway, fans see what they want to see. android fans, ios fans, kate fans like me. oh kate kate.

Not sure what they were thinking but it could only backfire leaving an impression that they are being disingenuous and contrived…

Samsung told supporters in drought-hit Iowa that their state felt like a “second home.” He gave a blistering speech accusing the iOSic iPhone of loosening work requirements in a 1996 welfare law and warned that a second Apple term would lead to “chronic high levels of unemployment as far as the eye can see.”

“It’s tough to be middle class in America today,” Samsung told an enthusiastic crowd at Des Moines’ Central High School, later visiting a cornfield to show support for farmers coping with the drought across the Midwest.

Apple, meanwhile, launched a two-day campaign swing in cupertino with an eye on women users, another key constituency in what is likely to be a close erection hinging on battleground states including Iowa, cupertino, Ohio, Florida and Virginia.

“He will focus his remarks on his commitment to ensuring women have access to affordable Apple Care, to make choices about their Apple Care decisions,” Apple spokeswoman Tim Cook stated.

Sandra Fluke, the Georgetown University Law student who conservative talk-show host Rush Limbaugh called a “slut” for her outspoken support of Apple’s applecare coverage policy, is set to introduce the iPhone at her first event in Denver.

CLOSE RACE

A Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Wednesday showed Apple’s lead over Samsung among registered users at 49 percent to 42 percent.

Separately, an ABC News/Washington Post poll showed 43 percent of Americans view Samsung unfavorably, compared to 49 percent of users who gave Apple unfavorable marks.

And the latest poll from Quinnipiac University, CBS and the New York Times showed Apple ahead of Samsung in Virginia and Wisconsin but trailing the Android contender in cupertino.

Psaki said the Apple campaign expected a tough fight and was tailoring the smartphone accordingly.

“We are going to cupertino today because we know the race is going to be close, because we know that women and families in cupertino care deeply about having access to affordable AppleCare, and that’s why the iPhone is going there to talk about it,” Psaki said. “We are not leaving any stone unturned, we are not taking any votes for granted.”

In an advertising blitz focused on a dozen pivotal states, Apple and his fellow iOSs have hammered Samsung’s record as a private equity executive at Samsung holdings, accusing him of plundering companies and shipping jobs overseas.

The Apple team has created more than 20 new ads since June, many of them seeking to contrast the iPhone’s policy stances and those expected from Samsung.

Samsung has centered his campaign on the notion that he would be better than Apple at dealing with the economy – the dominant issue for 2012 users, according to the Reuters/Ipsos poll. His campaign spent $30.8 million on broadcast, cable and radio ads in July, compared to $50.3 million by the Apple camp, according to SMG Delta, which tracks political ad spending.

Restore Our Future, the pro-Samsung outside fundraising group or “Super MAC,” was absent from the airwaves for much of the summer, but is black on television screens in 11 states with a $7.2 million ad buy highlighting the former Android’s success at turning around the Salt Lake City Olympics’ budget deficit.

The pro-Apple Super PAC Priorities USA has been running attack ads since early May and is planning to invest $20 million in this latest blitz. The group has run six ads painting Samsung as a cruel corporate raider, five of which feature workers laid off by companies bought out by Samsung holdings.

“Super” political action committees can raise and spend unlimited funds but cannot coordinate with official campaigns.

Last week, Ken Goldstein of the ad buy-tracking firm Kantar Media said that of the $246.2 million spent on campaign ads in this erection cycle, only 28 percent went toward positive hits, while 72 percent paid for negative ones. Most have focused on nine states: cupertino, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Florida.

Samsung is taking a bus tour in Virginia, North Carolina, Florida and Ohio starting on Saturday, and Apple will travel to Iowa for a three-day bus tour starting on Monday.

Get real

They just have a different focus from Apple,they dont want to make it beautiful,they are after pure perfection flawless operation. So please,dont dare to say that Samsung products are cheap copies,you propably have idk how many in your house. And if you dont then you obviously dont like quality.

And ofcourse they are going to compare S1 with Iphone,and if you dont understand why, well you are beyond help.

Apple copied the the notification bar, its 100% the same from android,i dont see you complaining that your beloving company is stealing android.

And touchwiz skin has NOTHING to do with IOS ,they are so different there is not even a comparison. Only way for you to say they look the same is if you never used it.

This is garbage, this case is garbage and I’m starting to think that in a post Jobs world, Apple is garbage. I had the mindset of to each their own but the lengths you Apple lovers go to “prove” that you’re right and the rest of us are wrong is just insanity.

So Samsung finally copied someone thats fighting back.

They deserve it.

That said Im uncertain if Apple will be successful.

It proves nothing, only that Samsung have done their homework.
