    I wonder if the Note will be 7" and include a man bag?

    I bet the event'll be sexist and out of touch with reality.

    I have to sign my name on the terminal at the prescription counter at Rite-Aid. It is absolutely impossible to write with your hand in midair like that and without the normal friction from paper. Anybody who thinks they're going to take notes that way is fooling themselves. They could never read what they wrote anyway. My signature could just as well be Chinese calligraphy—in the "grass style".

    Last time I checked, Samsung announces the Note series each year at IFA, which is an international consumer electronics conference event held in Berlin.

    And how did Samsung schedule their smartphone announcements before Apple? They sure did announce some at IFA, like this one in 2006:

    I get it, people love to hate on Samsung for EVERYTHING, but can't we just take a break for just one day?

    This merely proves how incredibly inept Samsung is. Aside from the fact that no one cares what Samsung has to say to begin with, releasing or announcing a product before the iPhone is just flat out dumb for any company. All anyone is talking about is the fact that it's happening right before Apple's announcement, then all anyone will be talking about is what Apple does. Samsung will not disrupt anything, steal the show, or otherwise make an impact.

    I think it's more of an offensive move against [more] stupidity.

    Seriously people?

     

    The Galaxy Note 4 will be announced on Sept. 3 2014

    The Galaxy Note 3 was announced on Sept. 4 2013

    The Galaxy Note 2 was announced on Aug. 29 2012

    The Galaxy Note was announced on Sept. 1 2011

     

    This isn't rocket science...


     

    Clearly it all revolves around Apple.  No other products should launch either 6 months before Apple's latest iPhone, nor 6 months after....

    I might. I haven't bothered looking into Android or Samsung in a serious way, but if Apple doesn't have a big phone this year I'd be inclined to at least see if the Note could be a viable replacement for my wife and me. If not, nothing lost but a little time.

    For goodness sake, don't compare Apple products with ShameScam's, ever.

    If you use deductive reasoning, and follow what Apple's done for years, September 9-10 has been the obvious date since January at least, when iMore predicted this date. Samsung can read the tea leaves too. In fact I'm sure they know what the A8 looks like, because they're making it. They're already making the snarky ads showing what the Note can do that the measly iPhone can't. 

     

    They're still on a downward slope profit-wise. They did make money by spending billions on world-wide ads and being the most famous Android phone. But there's a problem with commodity businesses, as Compaq and HP and dozens of other bankrupt Windows computer makers show you. The software makes the money.

    I know they've been doing it a few yrs now- but Samsung is so scummy they even copy the pun announcements apple does.

    Imbeciles buy Samsung. Simple as that.

    Of course it makes sense. It helps keep iPhone market share numbers down. By releasing their own flagship device, their "sales" numbers are inflated along with (but not nearly as much) as the iPhone's share of the market. If they didn't release a new model in time with Apple's, iPhone share numbers would go through roof pushing everyone else down. Samsung's only game left is to make sure their unit "sales" numbers consistently remain higher than Apple's otherwise they'll never recover and become Nokia 2.0.

     

    Honestly can you imagine Samsung NOT releasing a new device?
