    Yep.  When analytics firm Visible Measures released its list of the ten most viral tech ads of 2012, Samsung's GS3 "The Next Big Thing" commercial ranked at the top of the list (71 million views)


     


    Altogether, Samsung got four of the top ten, and Apple only got one ad (iPhone 5 intro - 18 million views) on the list.


     


    All top ten can be seen here on the Visible Measures website.


     


    Other major firms such as Ad Age also ranked Samsung's ads in the top ten viral for 2012.

    They really should have vetted the dialogue better. They should known people would try to see if Siri worked the same for them as in the videos. Either you alter Siri so it's more tuned for those specific questions or you use sentences that can also be duplicated up by a reasonable user.

    Barry is not a reasonable user due to his speech impediment:

    Funny part was that Siri understood the Indian guys and I barely did, but I understood Barry. Guess Siri won't be able to tell Elmer J. Fudd if it's duck season or wabbit season.

    And your video's blank, but I'm sure it's more abject nonsense.

    My guess is that Siri understands those with an Indian accent much better than those with rhotacism.

    Yep worked for me, but you have to understand, he never been objective, when comes to Apple vs. ANYONE.


    I agree Samsung even in India had the most viral mobile phone ads, which were talked about by masses, when the ads were on TV.


     


    India loves over the top theatrics and Samsung ads usually played to their weakness.

    I'll ask you again to stop the libel before it's stopped on its own.

    By that measure, the Surface should be the best-selling tablet in India.

    Ahhhh...the video worked for everyone else but it was blank for some.....i guess it fits......


    Everyone at my work talks about the Samsung spots....... I work in IT special projects. I love the Windows 8 ad at the wedding where the Samsung and Apple phone owners argue and fight...iphone owner says "Can you move your enormous phone!"


    Samsung phone owner says "Aren't you a little young to have an iphone?" Love that spot...

    image go ahead big boy make my day...


     


    Indians do not like the surface because too expensive vs. performance obtained.


    Actually Surface had a massive marketing push, but unfortunately its all been US ads.


     


    Edit Price check and scroll to bottom of page and iPad 64Gb WiFi is similar price to MS Surface 32Gb....no amount of ads will make an Indian give away his moneyimage

    So the advertising didn't help, despite your previous assertion.

    The thing about libel is that it has to be:


     


    1.  A false statement


    2.  Damaging to the reputation of the subject of the statement


     


    His statement was not false, and even if it was, it doesn't damage your reputation in the least.  You are the most damaging thing to your reputation.

    It fulfills both criteria. Come off it.

    Read the comments again, maybe you understand why?


    Samsung have priced their products at reasonable price and performance, maybe little sub par to Apple (in our eyes), this is of very little concern to Indian market, since ads help to sell the product.


    MS Surface has massive under performance to Apple iPad, If  you compare price with specs.

    Just to remind you, I have  stated low-cost iPhone, would do well in India. I never mentioned what price should be or specs.
