[Poll] Smartphone Commercials: which ones worked the best

If you are a TV watcher, chances are you have already memorized most of the commercials that are flashed across the boob-tube on a regular basis. More and more are we seeing one thing being advertized: did you guess it? Smartphones and tablets! When watching these commercials, what are the companies actually trying to convey? Who are their target audiences? Do they speak to you and make you want to buy their product?

When watching the boob-tube, what commercials do you remember? © greenheritagenews.com

We've selected some of the best TV smartphone and tablet advertisements and shared them with you. Which company do you think does the best to not only show what their product can do, but also captivate the audience's attention and suck them into their ''world''. Does a commercial work because it is so good or is it simply because it is so often shown that we can't get it out of our heads. Humor, sound, innovation and style are key elements of a good commercial.
First off, we have:

So tell us, which one worked the best on you? Look down into your pocket and see what smartphone you have. Could it be that it worked and you never knew it? Like Communications master Marshal McLuhan once said ''Advertising is an environmental striptease for a world of abundance.''

Which commercial did the like the best?

Chinese copies of the best smartphones.

HTC One, Samsung Galaxy S3 and S4, Galaxy Note 3, iPhone, ... all, or nearly all high-end devices have their own clone in the Chinese market, some even are released before the original reaches the hands of consumers. But ... To what extent are these replicas? Is it worth it to save some money and switch to a chinese knockoff?

It is increasingly common to see almost exact copies, at least in design, of the flagship models of almost all manufacturers. While it is true that the vast majority of mobile devices stem from Asia, the origin of these imitations is largely attributed to China.
The main advantage of this kind of plagiarism is of course the price. And it goes without saying that the leading manufacturers usually put their best smartphones at a higher price point, a good example is the Galaxy S4, which costs about 700 euros. That, of course, includes the design, technology and specifications behind the device, and of course, the brand name.
For those that do not care much about the brand, Chinese devices that mimic and copy the design and even the technical specifications do seem like a good alternative. As always, however, it's good to be prudent. Chinese copies obviously bring some problems that we shouldn't overlook and that while we may be winning with the price point of the devices, we may be paying it ten fold in terms of the quality.

Problems with Chinese copies

For starters, it's believed that many of the chinese knockoffs do not incorporate an authentic Android OS, but a fully functioning 'disguised' Google system. As such, incompability with popular apps, such as Gmail and Whatsapp, is soon discovered when using them.
The cameras are much worse than the official devices and they seem to "distort" the amount  of advertised megapixels with advertised . Furthermore, processors are habitually overclocked or only 50% of advertised speed.
But what current devices have a Chinese copy? Virtually every one, even the Galaxy Note 3, which hasn't even hit the market yet, and here we'll show you a few of the more "important" copies.

Galaxy S3 vs Tinjin i9300

Even with it's popular successor just released, the Galaxy S3 still remains one of the more copied devices out there. One of the more prominently known copies is the Tinji i9300 Star band.

HTC One vs HDC One

Taiwan's HTC has also seen its best device 'plagiarised'. The imitation terminal in question is called HDC One and is no doubt probably one of the more blatant rip-offs, barely changing the name of the device in question.

FitStar Raises $4M Round Led By Trinity To Make The Best iPad-Led Home Workouts

FitStar, the San Francisco-based startup that just launched a workout app with Atlanta Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez, just raised $4 million in a round led by Trinity Ventures to expand its line-up of fitness apps. Earlier investors like Google Ventures also participated.

The round was put together a few months ago before the company launched its flagship app earlier this month. CEO Mike Maser, who came up with the idea while traveling solo out in New Zealand, isn’t sharing specific stats yet on retention or the size of the company’s user base because it’s only been a few weeks. But he did say that users have burned at least a collective 4 million calories through the app.

Maser said the deal with Trinity came together in part because the firm had really been looking for a mobile health-related play for a while.

“They are smart, just genuinely good folks with high integrity,” he said. “They’ve been looking at the space for a long time and they were hungry to make an investment in consumer health. There was a just instant simpatico in what they were looking for in an investment and what we were looking for in a new partner.”

FitStar’s first app is a video workout app where Gonzalez leads users through several dozen exercises that can all be done without the assistance of any equipment or a gym. Unlike classic DVD or home video workouts, the app responds to the user and customizes the difficulty of the exercises based on their fitness level. There’s a simple diagnostic questionnaire at the beginning and then the app will raise the difficulty level over time depending on how committed the user is to the regime.

Since launch, the app was featured in the “Editor’s Choice” category by Apple, and stayed in the top 100 apps for about a week. It’s still sitting in the top 5 for the “Health and Fitness” category in the U.S. That’s pretty normal though because the top free ranks tend to be dominated by games and social networking apps, not health and fitness or productivity titles.

Maser said to expect an iPhone version of the app next. He’s still quiet on when the company will eventually come out with workout apps targeted at different demographics with other fitness celebrities.

FitStar has a freemium monetization model with paid versions that give the user more workouts per week, nutritional guidance and e-mail support. The prices of those paid subscription add-ons range from $4.99 to $11.99 per month.

The other component of the business will be merchandising. FitStar also just opened up a store with branded apparel and books on nutrition. They’re also partnering with companies like Kiip, a mobile rewards startup, to offer free Amazon MP3s and other goodies to FitStar users.

“We offer a high fidelity experience that should appeal to apparel makers and food and beverage companies,” Maser said.

FitStar is also backed by Advancit Capital, a VC firm from Viacom and CBS Corporation vice chairman Shari Redstone, and Floodgate.

Nexus: The best of Google, now in three sizes

People increasingly have more than one device, and they switch between them many times a day. Nexus—Google’s hardware line for Android devices—gets rid of the hassle. Just sign in with your Google Account and everything is there ready to go, whatever device you’re using: photos, emails, contacts, bookmarks, even your entertainment on Google Play.

Today, we’re excited to announce three great new Nexus devices … in small, medium and large. And they all run Android 4.2, a new flavor of Jelly Bean—which includes the latest version of Google Now and other great new features.

Nexus 4 with Google Now and Photo Sphere 
Nexus 4 is our latest smartphone, developed together with LG. It has a quad-core processor which means it's super fast, a crisp 4.7" (320 ppi) display that's perfect for looking at photos and watching YouTube, and with wireless charging you just set the phone down on a charging surface to power it up, no wires needed. While Nexus 4 is incredibly powerful under the hood, it also features the latest version of Jelly Bean, Android 4.2—the simplest and smartest version of Android yet. Starting with the camera, we've reinvented the photo experience with Photo Sphere, which lets you capture images that are literally larger than life. Snap shots up, down and in every direction to create stunning 360-degree immersive experiences that you can share on Google+ with friends and family—or you can add your Photo Sphere to Google Maps for the world to see.

Android 4.2 brings other great goodies like Gesture Typing, which lets you glide your finger over the letters you want to type on the keyboard—it makes typing fast, fun and a whole lot simpler. Android 4.2 also adds support for wireless display so you can wirelessly watch movies, YouTube videos and play games right on your Miracast-compatible HDTV. 

Learn more about all of the new features in Android 4.2, Jelly Bean, here. 

Google Now—even more useful 
We designed Google Now to make life simpler by giving you the right information at just the right time in easy to read cards, before you even ask. And the feedback has been awesome. So today we’re adding more cards that we hope you’ll find useful. Flight information, restaurant reservations, hotel confirmations and shipping details—how often have you found yourself wading through your email to get this information at the last moment? So next time you book a table for dinner, you’ll get a reminder with all the details without ever having to lift a finger. You’ll also get cards for nearby attractions, interesting photo spots, movies times at nearby theaters or concerts by your favorite artists.

Nexus 7: Thin, light and now even more portable
Nexus 7 brings you the best of Google–YouTube, Chrome, Gmail, Maps–and all the great content from Google Play in a slim, portable package that fits perfectly in your hand. To give you more room for all that great content you can now get Nexus 7 with 16GB ($199) or 32GB ($249) of storage. But we also wanted to make this highly portable tablet even more mobile. So we added HSPA+ mobile data. Nexus 7 is now also available with 32GB and HSPA+ mobile ($299), which can operate on more than 200 GSM providers worldwide, including AT&T and T-Mobile in the US. 

Nexus 10: Powerful and shareable 
Nexus 10 is the ultimate tablet for watching movies or reading magazines. We wanted to build a premium entertainment device, so we partnered with Samsung to do just that. Nexus 10 is the highest resolution tablet on the planet with a 10.055" display at 2560-by-1600 (300ppi), that's over 4 million pixels right in your hands. It comes with a powerful battery that will get you up to nine hours of video playback and more than 500 hours of standby time. With a set of front-facing stereo speakers, you can watch movies right from your Nexus 10 and they simply sound awesome. But what makes Nexus 10 unique is that it's the first truly shareable tablet. With Android 4.2, you can add multiple users and switch between them instantly right from the lockscreen. We believe that everyone should have quick and easy access to their own stuff -- email, apps, bookmarks, and more. That way, everyone can have their own home screens, their own music, and even their own high scores.

Google Play: More entertainment, more countries
We’ve recently added a ton of great new entertainment to Google Play, such as movies and TV shows from Twentieth Century Fox. Earlier this year we expanded our service beyond movie rentals and now you can purchase movies and build a library of your favorites in Google Play. Today we’re bringing movie purchasing to more countries - Canada, the U.K., France, Spain and Australia.
We’re also excited to announce two new partnerships. We’re now working with Time, Inc. to bring you even more magazines like InStyle, PEOPLE, TIME and others. And we’ve partnered with Warner Music Group who will be adding their full music catalog with new songs coming each day. We’re now working with all of the major record labels globally, and all the major U.S. magazine publishers, as well as many independent labels, artists and publishers.

On November 13, we're bringing music on Google Play to Europe.  Those of you in the U.K, France, Germany, Italy and Spain will be able to purchase music from the Google Play store and add up to 20,000 songs—for free—from your existing collection to the cloud for streaming to your Android devices or web browser. We’re also launching our new matching feature to streamline the process of uploading your personal music to Google Play. We’ll scan your music collection and any song we match against the Google Play catalog will be automatically added to your online library without needing to upload it, saving you time. This will be available in Europe at launch on November 13 and is coming to the U.S. soon after. This will all be for free—free storage of your music, free matching, free syncing across your devices and free listening.

Great value
We’ve always focused on building great devices at great value.  And we think today’s devices offer the very best that money can buy. Here are more details on when and where you can pick up your next Nexus device:

• Nexus 4: 8GB for $299; 16GB for $349; available unlocked and without a contract on 11/13 on the Google Play store in U.S., U.K., Australia, France, Germany, Spain and Canada. The 16GB version will also be available through T-Mobile for $199, with a 2-year contract (check here for more details).
• Nexus 7: 16GB for $199 and 32GB for $249; available in U.S., U.K., Australia, France, Germany, Spain, Canada and Japan, and also through our retail partners Gamestop, Office Depot, Office Max, Staples and Walmart.

• Nexus 7 with 32GB and mobile data: $299 and unlocked, on sale 11/13 in the Google Play store in the U.S., U.K., Australia, France, Germany, Spain and  Canada.

• Nexus 10: 16GB for $399; 32GB for $499; available on 11/13 in the Google Play Store in the U.S., U.K., Australia, France, Germany, Spain, Canada and Japan. You'll also be able to purchase the 32GB version in over 2,000 Walmart stores in the U.S.

A Nexus device is much more than simply a phone or tablet. It’s your connection to the best of Google—all of your stuff and entertainment, everywhere you go with no hassle.  Now you have three new Nexus devices, a new improved version of Jelly Bean and more entertainment than ever before—all available on Google Play. The playground is open.

Microsoft and Best Buy team up to create a 'Windows Store' inside 600 retail locations

inShare

Microsoft is announcing on Thursday that it plans to open special Windows Stores within Best Buy locations. The partnership will see 500 Best Buy locations in the US and 100 Best Buy and Future Shop retail stores in Canada launch a store-within-a-store. Microsoft is aiming to showcase Windows-based tablets, Windows Phones, Office, and Xbox at the locations in the same way that Apple and Samsung do today.

The announcement comes just hours after Microsoft started airing a new "Windows Everywhere" commercial that aims to show the company's products working together. Microsoft is helping to train more than 1,200 Best Buy sales associates to ensure they're up to speed with the Windows world. Microsoft's approach to partner with Best Buy appears to be part of the company's retail expansion plans. Microsoft has a number of stores across the US, but not in all major cities.

Best Buy to open hundreds of Windows stores within its stores

Microsoft has cut a deal to open Windows stores within 500 Best Buy locations in the United States and 100 more Best Buy and Future Shop locations in Canada.

The store-within-a-store sites, which will be 1,500 square feet to 2,200 square feet, will offer a wide selection of Windows tablets and PCs, Windows Phones, Microsoft Office, and Xbox consoles. There will also be space set aside specifically for Microsoft's Surface tablet computers.

The deal, announced Thursday, also calls for more than 1,200 Best Buy sales staff to receive Microsoft training, in addition to the Microsoft specialists already on staff at Best Buy.

Best Buy already offers Apple stores-within-stores at many locations. Its partnership with Apple began a decade ago, when the retailer started selling Macs at its locations."When a retail person can show them their five favorite features, it really helps a lot," Microsoft Chief Marketing Officer Chris Capossela said in an interview.

And earlier this year, Samsung reached a three-year deal with Best Buy to open Samsung Experience shops in the retailer's stores.

Capossela noted that the Windows store-within-stores will run, on average, ten times larger than the Apple shops in Best Buy, and five times larger than the Samsung ones. And while the Windows stores will also feature the company's phones, tablets, and gaming console, Best Buy will continue to carry those products in the device-specific departments of its stores as well.

Best Buy opened three trial locations of its Windows stores Thursday, in Rochester, Minn., Ft. Worth, Texas, and Louisville, Texas, to see what works and what needs refinement. It plans the broader rollout later this month, which will continue throughout the summer so they are set up in time for back-to-school shopping. Capossela declined to say how long the contract with Best Buy would last, except to note that it was a "multiyear" agreement.

Since the launch of Windows 8 last fall, Microsoft has been criticized, even by some partners, for confusing customers by offering two types of tablets - one running Windows 8, the other with Windows RT. Capossela said that just as Microsoft engineers "reimagined" Windows, adding touch capabilities throughout the computing experience, the company also needs to rethink its approach to retail sales of the new operating system.

"We also have to innovate on the shopping experience," Capossela said. "We have to make it easy to understand."

Best Buy is also rolling out an online version of the Windows store-within-a-store, creating a Web site where consumers can find information about promotions.

The companies didn't disclose terms of the partnership, though Capossela called it "a major investment for both sides."

Best iPhone and iPad Games for Little Kids

Why I like it: The mini-games in Super Why each take a unique approach to the same themes, giving kids multiple paths to learning letters and words. The pacing is excellent—just slow enough so players understand what they need to do without ever getting bored.
