Samsung starts U.S. Galaxy SIII ad campaign by featuring their pop-up video window
Share:
Samsung wants to make sure you know about this nice little utility on their flasgship device, so they’ve based their first U.S. ad on it, as friends of a Galaxy SIII owner are amazed by his ability to pound out an SMS while also enjoying a video. This ad is but the first salvo of what will most likely become a gigantic marketing campaign; but everything has to have a beginning:

Really? There are plenty of times i'm either browsing a website or viewing facebook and want to watch a 5-10 second "funny" YouTube clip.
Rather than having to click the link and open YouTube I can just watch the video over whatever i'm looking at and then x it out...
It's pretty sweet.

Lol what innovation is that? So Samsung just mesh in anything randomly and flaunt it as if its revolutionary?

apple does the same thing except they take things that have already been done and call it revolutionary, which i feel is worse.

You make it sound as if samsung doesn't have legitimate patents in both 3G and LTE standards. What has apple contributed to actually setting the standards in mobile industry?
Samething applies to Motorola, SonyEricsson (now two separate entity), and Nokia
These guys set the real standards in what actually matters

I wonder if Samsung knows that we can already do this this with an app.

It works the same exact way if not better because you can resize the window and have video controls. I don't use it but I can do it.

For what it's worth you can also resize the video and have some controls on the S3.

For the people that don't know about this feature already, I think its pretty awesome. Especially if its a movie you've already seen before.

It's not a completely useless app, i don't think many people will buy the Phone because of this one feature, and As PimpStrong already said, this feature is already available on the Google Play market .It would be nice to respond to a text message your receive while watching a video on youtube without having to exit out off youtube, but as i said before it isn't a make or break deal
