Apple vs Samsung: The Battles continues...

The new advertisement of Samsung Galaxy S II is quite intriguing. The video shows a bunch of people standing in a queue, all wearing white ear phones. One of the line-waiters says, “Guys, I'm so amped I could stay for three weeks”, while another woman is seen tweeting (mostly) “9 hours down and we're almost in the door”. Clearly they are supposedly waiting for the iPhone 4S as they were amazed by a man & a woman using Samsung Galaxy S2 which also comes in black and white unit.

The legal battle of the two Smartphone Giant producers still continues across ten different countries with more than 20 lawsuits in between them.  Samsung Tablet 10.1 was banned in Germany & Australia.

The iPhone Smartphone share in sales in the 1^st quarter of 2011 was 19% while Samsung had 13%.

Who do you think will win the battle Apple or Samsung? In the end there will be only one winner and those are the Smartphone Users, as Apple and Samsung competes to bring in the best on their "PRODUCT".

The controversial win of Manny Pacquiao over Juan Manuel Marquez on their last week fight in the MGM Garden causes the Pacman to  dropped on the  No. 2 spot  in the Top 5 Pound for Pound Boxers List of Sports Illustrated and Floyd Mayweather, Jr. grabbing the top spot. Juan Manuel Marquez is at No.5.

The question now is, Will Floyd Mayweather, Jr. engage a fight with Manny Pacquiao or will he continue to claim that he is the No. 1 Pound for Pound Boxer without showing the Boxing Fans what they wanted.

The odds are now in favour to Floyd Weather. Jr. The unconvincing win of Pacquiao against Marquez showed that he has flaws when going against a great counter puncher which is the asset of Mayweather. But will he have the guts to face Manny? Still remains uncertain.
