VIDEO: Samsung pokes fun at Apple fans "I could never get a Samsung, I'm creative!"
While never specifically mentioning "Apple," or "iPhone," there can be no doubt who Samsung has aimed its new 60 second spot for the Galaxy S II smartphone at.

The scene is outside (presumably) an Apple store on the launch day of a new (presumably) iPhone. It is _just_ nine hours until the store actually opens, so one eager customer questions why some people would already be leaving the queue.

The gang notice a smartphone being used by a passerby, and learn that its a Samsung Galaxy S II.. and a big deal is made out of its 4G capabilities. "The next big thing is already here," we are then informed.

Brilliant, and dead on. Apple no longer represent "think different" it represents a "me too" mentality.
