In a new ad, Samsung decides to be an equal opportunity derider, because its Galaxy Pro range is perfect. March 19, 2014 5:46 PM PDT The shame of owning a Surface. (Credit: Samsung/YouTube; screenshot by Chris Matyszczyk/CNET) For too long, tech manufacturers have mocked just one competitor at a time. It allows for a little focus, but it becomes very monotonous. Yes, Microsoft thinks the iPad's awful, Samsung thinks the iPhone's awful, and Amazon is sure the iPad's awful. Someone at Samsung must have leaped out of bed recently and screamed: "I know! Why don't we say everyone else is awful?" Here are the fruits of this thought.

And its Retina thingy isn't half as good as Samsung's non-Retina thingy. The Kindle does books and books and books. As for Surface, this comes across as a laptop that's been disassembled by a less than dextrous 5-year-old, but its bits are still connected by various cables.

Samsung's tablets have always enjoyed an image not dissimilar to your ball cock: possibly useful, but do I really care? This is the first series of punches that might just have more than a few wondering if their own tablet is truly good for their image.
