While Walt Mossberg of the Wall Street Journal, who is
usually my go to guy for electronics advice, found much to like about the new
iPhone 5, it was Jessica Vascellaro’s article about features the iPhone 5 lacks
that other smart phones already have that got my attention. (Vascellaro, 2012)
Then I saw this ad, which Samsung cleverly ran during the
week the iPhone 5 launched.
Since people were camping out around Manhattan it struck a
chord. And interestingly, the ad snagged
13.2 million views online, making it number one for the week. (Russell, 2012)
I’m not sure that I would ever use touch to share, but I
did come away with the impression that Samsung was the superior phone. What
about you? Did you buy an iPhone last
week? Or did you check out the Samsung
Galaxy instead?
