- not really and both shite ads.fadein11
- not really?! direct RIP obviouslyuuuuuu
- RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIPP...ohhhhhsnap
- Not even close! An old watch is nothing like an old phone. Analogy falls apart.monospaced
- Also, one has a girl cartoon, and one has a boy. Not even the same cartoon program.monospaced
- Apple's iPhone looks bottom lit, and the Gear looks top lit. No rip, none at all.monospaced
- corporate jab.Al_dizzle
- yeah it could be a lil reference / jab . pretty cheeky though.uuuuuu
- makes more sense. Samsung wouldn't approve a blatant RIP unless they were morons.uuuuuu
- 'hommage'tank02
- Samsung is shameless.monospaced
- Don't understand why Apple gets so much hate, but Samsung none. Such an annoying pest of a company.inteliboy

ah I vaguely remember now the discussion about the original iphone ad and Marclay's video when the ad was released. "Rip or hommage yadayaydayblah." So Samsung is like jabbing their competition by referencing the ad that RIPs/references Marclay. All very meta and stuff.

"Functioning to flatter, Apple's marketing department continues to imitate their inspiration. While a bit lack-luster, Apple's recent commercial for the up and coming iPhone is a far cry from the originality of the product itself. As some may have seen, it was soon found that the iPhone commercial that had originally aired during the Oscars was a cut and dry ripoff of a film that had come out more than a decade earlier. While seemingly scandalous, this incident was no coincidence. Apple had approached the filmmaker earlier for permission to use the concept; no stranger to being turned down -- and similarly to the battle with Cisco over the very name of the product -- Apple went ahead and used it anyway.
This time the muse happens to be experimental artist / musician Christian Marclay, who in 1995 produced Telephones, an abstract film of absurd and fragmented conversations cut up from phone scenes in movies. The film focused to comment on the relationship between sound and image by way of video; intrigued by the phone-movie mashup, Apple approached Marclay to use his work. Marclay, of course, refused Apple's advances, but Apple took advantage anyway. Since asking the source had short-circuited, Apple instead took to using extremely similar footage, making the iPhone commercial nothing short of a complete color copy of Telephones."

One-day batter life? Is this true?
- Its on all the time. Its a watch, not a phone. A full day is pretty damn good.CygnusZero4
- True. My current analog watch lasts like 350000% longer, but I guess it's not quite as feature-rich.nb
- This is like a mini iphone on all the time. A full day sounds solid to me.CygnusZero4
- Now you can get a tumor on your nutsack, wrist and brain.pinkfloyd

“The Apple Watch doesn't fit under my shirt cuff without serious effort, if at all.”
