I had already written about just how great the Samsung Galaxy S II commercial was a couple of months ago, but at the time Apple and Samsung were in the midst of the ‘copy me, copy you’ spectacle and so I wrapped it around a tongue-in-cheek accusation of copying. Certainly Samsung has learned that the macho specmanship approach of Motorola has a very narrow appeal, which shows very well in this new ad as well.
The upcoming Nexus has gotten some very positive early looks, and should be a big success for Samsung and give a great look at the new Ice Cream Sandwich Android 4.0 OS. We even learned that the Nexus will only have two Verizon-specific apps at launch – though I temper my enthusiasm with how badly Verizon polluted my Droid Pro with more apps, altered preferences and unremovable links during the Gingerbread update.
