unfortunately its not true.....its VERY VERY necessary to show a TV comercial:
1) "look, a real smartphone you can connect to your USB drive" and show it
2) "look, a real smartphone has moving desktop (calendar widget)" and show it
3) "look, a real smartphone can choose your default browser" and show it
4) "look, a real smartphone has NFC" and show it
5) "look, a real smartphone has freedom of choice (price, size, app)" and show it
6) "look, google now, how it understands me in MANY languages" and show what iPhone can not do - its very easy

30 seconds enough and many times to understand the iToy is not a real smartphone (without mention)

otherwise people will still think the only phone is iPhone.......failure of the Google marketing department

Actually it's a failure of the consumer. If I wanna buy something as expensive as a smartphone - and I rely on commercials without doing my research - I would be a complete idiot.

This. But it shows how naive consumers can be which is something companies take advantage of. It's really not Apple's fault if people are willing to pay a premium for not-so-special specs.

no, consumer is not needed to understand everything, something must be told

For a product as sophisticated and as expensive as the smartphone - he (the consumer) is.
