Microsoft targets Samsung in latest attack ads


Comparing the Galaxy Tab 10.1 to the Surface 2, the Redmond giant has released a series of adverts that highlight the ‘missing features’ of Samsung’s tablet range.
The adverts focus on Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 10.1, contrasting it against Microsoft’s own Surface 2 tablet.
In particular, the adverts focus on the Galaxy Tab 10.1’s limited number of ports and lack of support for multiple accounts. View the first advert in the link below:

Microsoft points out that the Samsung Galaxy only has one micro USB port. The Surface 2 on the other hand has a mini-USB port for charging and a full sized USB port for other tasks.
The advert also points out that in order to use more than one device with the Samsung Galaxy, you’ll need to buy an adaptor.

It should be noted the iPad’s lack of ports hardly impacts its usability, so we’d be inclined to say that’s a moot point. After all, isn’t that what Bluetooth is for?
The second advert (below) takes aim at the inability to use multiple accounts on the Galaxy Tab 10.1. It also highlights the Surface 2’s parental controls. View the second advert in the link below:
