No, bongski's pretty diehard anti-Samsung, so he's probably serious. I'm not entirely sure what place a simple link to an unreferenced article on an iPhone website paying out on Samsung's advertising material has on an Android development website, but whatever.
EDIT: Photo tagline actually reads "Apple news. Microsoft + Android fails" That's some unbiased reporting, right there.
In this case, I'm actuallly siding with Samsung. If you have a look at the press images for every high-end MP3 player on the market, even before the iPod touch (yes, there were consumer mp3 players before that), they have all used the same standing device with coiled headphones graphic. Those are the two main features of the device, so thats what consumers should see. Furthermore, you can't ignore the fact that they are both devices that are slimmed-down, lightly modified versions of smartphones with almost identical form factors. There is going to be some similarity. That does not make Samsung some slavish copy of Apple, that just means they both have the same functions to perform, and they both advertise those same functions in a similar manner.
Just my opinion, obviously.

Here's a relevant magic-eye picture for you all to enjoy

Still possible, I'll admit, but having read some of Bongski's other anti-Samsung spiels, I'm not so sure...

Being anti-Samsung has nothing to do with the fact that he's a troll. This is a pure troll-post and was created for nothing other than baiting people into being defensive and arguing. That's what a troll does.
I've reported it anyway just to get a mod to look - they may disagree. I'll shut up now either way.

Unless you want me to start trolling you OP, I'd suggest not to start this type of thread in the future.

Enjoy the dancing lock.

Just to make you laugh
by the way, it's not shopped: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_NYWTkR4lQ
We know its not shopped.. this has been around for a while now. This really didn't make me laugh either.. but maybe thats just me..
And hypothetically, the giant Nexus One does not count, since it is typically an upscaled video played on a large screen to represent the features of the N1. ;?
i chuckled...
But what if.... it.... did function hmmmmmm :-/ ? Id buy one hahahaha. Im 6'7" itd be perfect for me !!!!
LOL...it should have a great keyboard!

Well, seeming how the iTampon is just a blown up iPhail, I think the comparison is valid.
i thought you were gonna post a link to this......

I actually thought you'll mention this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sz8hWvP5Sc
Which looks rather tasty
asus also announced an "open sourced" tablet with nvidia tegra platform. id say 80% chance its android. i dont see any other linux build stable enough on arm and still pack the support for multitouch.

[OFFTOPIC] Best Laugh I have had in ages...

At least I can not find a SGS-alike here....

they are indeed fakes, but many of them have very nice features that Real brand names one doesn't offer
at Deal Xtreme you can also find a lot of those
the Android ones are specially good, as you can pretty much do anything you want with it and make you own ROMs
some other with locked in weird concoction of chinese OS might not be the greatest, but offer full features, and more than regular phones doesn't have
many which caught my eyes were among:
projector
tv
solar powered
crank powered
2 SIM
CDMA + GSM
waterproof
etc...
unfortunately all of them came with crappy OSes
however i really like the projector one, it's soooo cool
thank God , there is no
"HiPhone GaGaXy" or "HiPhone Galaxx" or anything else.
If they put in better displays they could be onto something lol
Read some of the questions. The answers are great.
Q. What resolution camera does it have?
A. It has a 0.3 mega pixel cam which gives ery clear pictures for you.
They can copy everything, it is so amusing and crazy. Such a crazy country.
Here are some pictures of the factory where these may have been made from....

Can you believe it? That is their solution. Sorry for such life.
Actually Foxconn makes the genuine Apple devices, not the fakes.

Looks rather creepy to me.
And I don't understand how a low quality and distorted iPhone is relevant to Android.

+1, No offense, it does look a little creepy, but cheers for the info.

Thats probably the eyes. Poser users want to see that there are poseable eyes in the figure, even though the google droid just has blank balls where his eyes are.
Rest assured, you can have solid colored eyes as well, and provided was green, white and black, the most common solid eye colors we see. (You can see that in the logo image on top of the first image.)
The phone behind him is actually a generic mobile phone... the point of it in the image is to solidify the fact that its the android robot in viewers eyes.
And no offense taken at all. The point of adding so many options to him is so end users can make him sad, happy, creepy, whatever. That maximizes the use you can get from him.
Gotcha. Cheers, great stuff, I wish you luck.

Exquisite corpses anyone?

After the conversation in the 'Post your designs/sketches' thread where skill level seemed to be inhibiting some people from posting their artwork, I wanted to show people with less experience how even professionally trained artists don't always produce top-notch work every single time. Art is, more than anything, an exploration, an experiment, and should for the most part at LEAST be fun.
I've had the GT-N8013 for a week now, and most of the stuff I've done on it are still 'just' doodles. Some of them are 'dead ends'.
So, with the hopes of engendering a spirit of cooperation, contribution and community among ALL skill levels, LET'S PLAY EXQUISITE CORPSES!!!
for anyone wondering wtf I'm talking about, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exquisite_corpse here's the Wikipedia entry.
Suggested thread rules:
1) if you post work, do so under the GPL. IN OTHER WORDS: don't post work you feel is your IP knowing it will be modified, copied and reworked. We don't want to start an IP war on XDA.
2)if you take work from another artist, please post back your mods to the original...
3)if someone (OP, original artist, friends, boss etc) think an exquisite corpse has commercial value, credit and work out royalties with ALL contributors...
4) we all have PS touch, so keep your own work on layers as to not destroy original content.
I really think we could learn alot from each other, explore collectively the capabilities of this tablet, and in general have alot of fun.
here are my current doodles:

Would love to see this thread take off. Hope you enjoy, have fun, and PLEASE post back any mods you make! I may want to work on your modified file!!!
PLEASE don't let skill level stop you! Creativity is superior to skill!

Can you imagine what could happen if those passes were real? We're not going to give that a try but I'm sure it would soon turn into chaos when a dozen members would get that HOTHEAD pass!
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the people that keep this forum running every single day. Forum members don't always appreciate it when we approach them as we're the ones that usually bring a message that's not always nice to hear but I really hope they understand the importance of the role we fulfil here. Remember: we're just people too with the same shared passion for tech and we have the best intentions with this community. For this reason we voluntarily devote a great deal of our free time to keep this a fun and safe forum for everyone.
So no, we're not selling any violation passes, the Forum Rules still apply to everyone
Have a fun day!
Kind regards

On top of the fish I've put "(Click the fish to watch it swim ^_^)", which actually isn't a joke, the image should move when clicked but it doesn't seem to be behaving consistently. Sorry if it doesn't work for you! It's supposed to look like this:
