In another attempt to ridicule Apple fanboys everywhere, Samsung has produced yet another Apple defying tv spot. This time it is around the new Galaxy Note which is half phone half tablet, or a “phablet” as they call it. Like the previous commercials which show off the beautiful screen and features of the Samsung Galaxy S2, Samsung takes a different approach this time around with the new Note. The commercial which aired during the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl caught the attention of the Twitterverse due to the fact they showed off a stylus in the ad. Check out some of the reactions below from twitter users shortly after the spot aired:

Since when did having a #stylus become a selling point?

I thought the #stylus died with the #Palm.

How was that Samsung commercial supposed to encourage phone sales? #stylus

The Palm Pilot commercial was pretty good. #stylus

Not so sure about the #Stylus. The distraction of the bright colors and sounds hasn’t made me forget it’s there.

Yeah, @Samsung, that’s what I want, a #stylus.

Somehow The Darkness was not the most out of date element of that Samsung ad #stylus

So, the future is 90s technology? #stylus

One of the great things about the #iPhone was abandoning the #stylus. Not sure why #samsung thinks bring it back is #innovation and #freedom

You would think with a 5″ screen they would show off HD movies, gaming, or even apps, but no…they show their 1990′s PalmPilot inspired stylus to Apple fans in line. Why would they show a stylus when the technology died nearly 10 years ago? Manufactures have made improvements with capacitive touchscreen and advanced operating systems to remove the stylus from the equation. The Galaxy Note will hit AT&T store on the 19th of this month for $299 with a 2 year contract and data plan. Check out the official commercial below from Samsung which aired last night during the big game.
