The maps app on iOS is "powered" by Google, but the app itself, the design of it, and all the graphics are made by Apple. So if it *was* a screenshot of the Galaxy, then it's a blatant ripoff, copyright violation etc.
Unfortunately, what it really is, is a screenshot of an iPhone that some designer stole off of a website and photoshopped it into the Galaxy ad when he/she was making the advertisement/web page. So it's really just illegal and misleading advertising, not copyright violation.
I guess Samsung doesn't really care *which* laws they break, as long as they are breaking *some* kind of law.
Advertisement or not, that is a real page from the Samsung website.
If Samsung is really going there, they have big brass ones. And their advertising/marketing VP should be fired for approving the images. That has Apple app written all over it.
So basically, this device is a slavish copy of a white iPod touch. Can any of our friendly AI contributors across the pond post a screen cap of the map app from the Galaxy Player 50 in an effort to debunk this pic?
I don't know why you guys are getting on his case, his response wasn't all that bad. It looked almost natural when he said his name, maybe if he practiced 4 or 5 more times, saying his name would have been believable and those that love RIM would be excited when blackberry reaches it's goal of $100 worth of apps by 2015. This giveaway is for the future, keeping it's customer base locked in, pretty good idea when you think about it.
Just to let you know I hate your post. I was doing just fine savoring my diet dr. pepper until I read this "It looked almost natural when he said his name". Now my keyboard, monitor, wacom tablet, shirt and pants has DP all over it.
They sell to business users; that's what you do. You charge business users for things that are free for everyone else. It's a fundamental law of the universe.

It is off topic but you are wrong about the rest.

This could overwhelm Rim's IBM XT app server...
I thought it was Windows95 running on a 286 PC.
Why don't you just offer people $100 of raw fecal matter? At least then you could grow something useful.

Wow, impressive reimbursement.
?
Are there even $100 worth of BlackBerry apps in existence?
It expires by the end of the year, so whatever you don't spend goes back into RIM's shrinking coffers.
Wait. They charge for technical support?
