There are a lot of examples where Samsung's devices bear a resemblance to Apple's iPhone and iPad.
You can now add television commercials to that list as MacRumors has discovered a new Korean TV commercial of Samsung Galaxy Tab that mimics Apple's iPad ads.
Despite all of the crazy litigation going on alongside Apple's claims that Samsung copied Apple's products, Samsung has put out a new TV commercial that seems to closely resemble Apple's style of ads.
The commercial features a father and daughter using a Galaxy Tab. A loose translation provided by MacRumors is:You try to have fun with me, you try to win against me, you ask me millions of questions, you sit on my lap, you want to stay beside me all the time, strangely, when I stay with you time passes very quickly. This is a precious time.
Apple is known for showing ads that draw away from the features of their products and instead focus on human interaction using their technology. Of course, that ad style is only one of many in Apple's campaign, and they're also not the only ones who have taken that approach. Still, the commercial is reminiscent of iPad commercials, and it's clear that Samsung is trying to set the Galaxy Tab as an alternative to Apple's offering.
This is quite different from the tactic Samsung has taken in the US: mocking its target audience of Apple fans.
What do you think? Sound off in the comments.

Samsung biting Apple again.. for the fandroids out there.. what’s your excuse this time?
Samsung ran out of innovations????? Come one samy boy show me what u got?
As usual samsung lack of idea, just follow and follow what apple did…
Woah! Those lines are so cheesy!
who cares about that, they need competition so the prices can come down
+1 If you think prices are high now, how much higher would it be if Apple had no competition whatsoever.
Don’t you remember that Apple locked in suppliers and came out with the iPad prices so low that no one in the industry has been able to beat them? The only way was to cut size, quality and memory and use a free junky OS.
An IPad that cost 499.00 ( IPad 2 16GB ) which still depends on a PC or MAC. That what you low price. An iPad is only for show.
Superior to any Apple ad I ever seen! Don’t get the point of the article. Samsungs marketing appears to be on the money especially with poking fun at the 4s and the stupidity of the fanboy!
gotta agree,
Good point
Samsung is just messing with Apple’s fanboys and it seems it’s working! lol
True
Get over it a lot of companies do this tactic why is this different just because it’s apple
You guys wanna talk about people ripping apple ideas? Who just applied for a patent on the facial recognition unlock in Ice Cream Sandwich. Oh, that’s right apple did. Apple is retarded. Fanboys are sheep, following a man who said “it’s not the consumers business to decide what he wants” Go ahead theme your idevice maybe pop up some widgets on your home screen. Oh wait, you aren’t allowed! Get an android and free your phone!
Then everyone is who’s every played a game console is sheep. You can’t go around bashing a “closed” system when the gaming industry has been doing it for 20+ years and now makes more money/profit than Hollywood. Nintendo, PS & Xbox are all closed. Yes, they have been modded, but unofficially for the most part. You CANNOT buy a Nintendo, PS or Xbox-type console from anyone else…
Oh and I am a PS3 sheep. A superior system as far as hardware goes, because of blu-ray. Its all about what you can do with your stuff. What can your iphone do that an android can’t, because the list in reverse is large?
Even I got gotta admit as an iOS guy, Everything Samsung has been making these recent two years or so, has been superior than Apple AND other brands. All you have to do is compare tech specs and will see the facts.
I doubt that you are an ‘iOS guy’ and think that you are likely just a new convert who used to be a long time Windows sufferer. Your focus on tech specs is typical of Windows sufferers who forget that it should be about the utility and ease of use that is important.
Many people constantly tinker with their computers and phones just to try to get them to do something rather than just using them for what they really need them to do. Not very productive this tinkering is my friend.
Arguely about interface is not debatable because everyone has there own thing. But arguely about tech spec is not. You can’t tell me that 512 memory ram which apple has on there iPad and iPhone is better than 1gb of memory ram which Samsung galaxy s2 has.
Not a surprise really, Samsung had been copying apples every move for the past few years, but with inferior software. Why not just copy their ads as well.
Samsung might soon design its HQs like Apple.
give me proof.. give me the link of the original apple ipad ads.
If there’s no iPad I believe there will be no galaxy tab, if there’s no iPhone I’m pretty sure there’s no galaxy s…it just as simple as that
