Nice RIM's downfall will be Windows Phone's gain. :D

You see there is a difference between "Smoked by Windows Phone" contest where it wins 98% of the time and you show the customers how the device works and stupid stunts like this that just alienate people. Microsoft GETS it and RIM doesn't.

uhhh... I'm sorry but just because RIM's marketing team is awful doesn't mean Microsoft's isn't equally awful.

Microsoft doesn't get it anymore than RIM or Samsung frankly. They're all god awful at marketing.

So Apple is the only one who knows how to do marketing.

That's just one latest dimension of advertising. What about Apple's advertising going back 8 years? Nobody can compete.

As far as tech companies go, pretty much.

Well, Google is alright. Certainly much better than Microsoft or RIM.

I thought this was pretty good, must have been an Apple ad agency.
