Samsung has released yet another ad mocking iPhone owners entitled, 'Samsunged'.

The ad touts the Samsung Galaxy S II over the iPhone due to its included navigation software. It also mocks Apple customers for waiting in line to purchase a phone with the exact same design as its predecessor.

This ad is the fourth in a series of commercials by Samsung targeting Apple customers. The first three can be viewed here: Next Big Thing, 4G Speed, Movies & Music.

You people make me louph! Dont you understsnd that by visiting this website you are in 1% minority of phone users who actually try to customise their phone! 99% just use the phone for talking sms and browsing. they dont give a shit about anything else and wouldnt care what phone they use. i've used iphone for many years and switched to galaxy s2 and can tell you it does exactly the same things as iphone. as for customisation it's a lot easier than iphone and no need to wait 2 years for a jailbreak. i actually prefer the gs2 because of the bigger screen it's lighter and you can actually drop it from 2 floor and doesnt break!

If Samsung thinks that advertisements like this will help to conquest Apple customers, they're sadly mistaken. Comparing Apple customers to hobos sleeping on the street won't win customers - unless their objective is just to conquest lowly LG or HTC customers. Wake up Samsung! I think your Korean advertising strategy is about to taken an abrupt turn towards failure...

Samsung Galaxy SII = perfection , Iphone 4s = Iphone 4 with Siri = s.o.s.

they are in fact threatened by iPhone, i dont blame them for doing everything they can. its just advertising a feature they think is better than their competitor and this is competition. I would want to see these to prove to be a productive competition instead of taking sides. I for one dont mind to have this feature on my iPhone so I dont have to spend extra $ on apps.

I know what you mean and I agree with you. But I still think this is a pathetic strategy from Samsung..

dude..this is the same thing that apple did with microsoft.. Its just a marketing strategy.. I used to have an iphone 2g and 3gs.. But i decided to switch to gs2 for my next upgrade.. And wow.. The system is just open.. You can do whatever you like with the phone Bluetooth isn't limited for ear pieces only Share apps with one touch The sharing menu is amazing, you can share anything from any app.. Like from th browser to whatsapp for example.. Or forward sms to you dropbox! You can simple download any. Apk file and install it.. Which is similar to. Ipa.. Ofcourse without jailbreaking and the hassle I dont like arguing about who copied who but apple did copy the notification center from android which has been there for years. No actual multitasking in apple, android has Widgets! Wifi direct Http interface for android device.. By default And many many other baic features that iphone lack.. That doesnt mean that the iphone ismnot good, its a hell of a phone.. But things changed.. Just like anything in the world Bottom line.. If you're happy with iphone then go ahead and buy it.. And same for android users It's a matter of preference

Got Samsung Galaxy S for free with a TV-set and been playing with it a month now - ok if Android is your first touch to Smartphones then its fabulous but if you been using iPhone before (I've used since iPhone "1") then it just feels like cheap copy. OK the system works and is pretty smooth but boy three are some serious usability issues. Also the touch is not as well executed as in iPhone - i know this from my experience but i now understand why people are fooled straight into Android-rubbishes. Google - why not trying to coming up with something original instead of just copying others? You should have assets to take a risk or two and invest in innovation not copycation.

Spot on. Moving from iOS to Android, regardless of device, feels like a cheap imitation.

I feel the same. I had a 3GS and was issued a Galaxy S from my work. It looked very nice, but I found myself frustrated be cause the precision wasn't at iOS's level. Telenav was cool especially since the free version was voice guided, but when Waze came out that stopped being a plus. When it was time for me to buy a new phone, I chose the 4S.

Free navigation? Wow - that's just like Navfree, Skobbler and Waze.

I really like apple products, I had an iphone 4, have macbook pro, ipad and ipod touch. But when I bought my new cell phone I had to go with the Galaxy S2 it was so much better. The iphone 4s is a great choice but people dont have to buy it just because its from Apple. Also waiting 8 hours to have a phone the day of release is just stupid. Wait three days and do a 5 minute line.
