One of the most important ongoing stories in tech for 2011 was the incessant legal maneuvering between Apple and Samsung. The patent wars have crossed the globe with battles being fought every day in different countries and over different patents. Both sides have had major victories. Both sides have suffered devastating losses.
In the middle of it all, a new type of infringement popped up on the internet this month. MacRumors noted that the ad (below) “feels a lot like an Apple iPad ad” but what they didn’t notice is that Samsung used the same young actress that appeared in an iPhone 4S commercial. Whether it’s just an extreme coincidence or a some weird ploy by Samsung to capture some of Apple’s advertising mojo is uncertain. Either way, the actress is racking up mobile commercial experience for her resume.

Well, one certainly cannot enjoy an android device, since they are not allowed to enable multitouch.
These sorts of things are the reason folks illegally pirate software.

She’s adorable. No wonder both companies hired her.

We should all take a lesson from her (not that she had any intention to teach us anything) – stop fighting over which product is better and just enjoy the awesome technology we have these days. She clearly had a blast playing with both the iPhone and the Samsung tablet. She doesn’t care who made them.
I’m sure even on the set of both commercials she didn’t really think about it, she was just having fun with the “toy”!
