    Yeah, I just saw that myself. But since I keep my iDevices in the refrigerator, I can't let them get too large you know, :)

    I can certainly see that some want a larger screen for a variety of reasons. But still, it IS only 5.7 or whatever inches. Wouldn't it just look a lot better on a 55" LED screen???

    I mean, my first TV set was a color 10 inch model across the room, and that was fine, since I had nothing else...but that is no comparison for what I now have in my home.

    I wonder why they compare the Galaxy Note 3, and not the S4 (5 inch screen) to the iPhone's 4 inch screen? Well, clearly it is not as traumatic. If indeed some models of the iPhone 6 are around 5 inches, I guess Samsung is preparing the way.

    Personally, I think Samsung ad men would be better off touting what cool things their phone can do, instead of doing these comparisons ads. Seems cheesy.

    You say cheesy, I say downright stupid. I mean, the whole thing they do with LeBron… who would ever do that?
    I totally agree on the TV point with you. The tablet commercial was a little more reasonable IMHO, but still it fails since it doesn't really show anything important. What, I can cover up my photo with another app? Great use case!
    Or maybe it's my cynical nature since none of the commercials ever impress me :)
    Anyway, it was good for a chuckle.

    Just an ironic thought I had, that applies to all smartphones, including Apple's.

    The trend is to make phones and tablets thinner and thinner...but to make them larger and larger in length and width. :) :)

    There's got to be reasonable limits somewhere.

    Of course. You're forgetting they're making them more and more waterproof. Once they're completely waterproof and thin as a razor you can get rid of yet another device :D

    Seriously, I wouldn't mind them being thicker if that means better battery life.

    So you mean some kind of deformable metal case, that when in the hands of an unrecognizable fingerprint the edges become razor sharp and slice the hand of the thief???

    Cool idea. Seriousness aside, I'd go for the straight edge ipad razor too.
