Can't say we didn't see this catfight coming after Apple
boldly rejected Samsung's settlement offer in Australia, but man, the latter certainly isn't afraid of striking back in its enemy's front yard. According to
The Sydney Morning Herald, Sammy's set up a pop-up store merely meters away from Apple's Sydney store, all for just stealing the thunder from the
iPhone 4S launch this Friday. The campaign? For the first ten customers each day up to Friday, the Korean giant's offering its
Galaxy S II for just $2 sans contract -- no wonder the line's already longer than Apple's, according to the
Herald. But of course, Samsung's also effectively funding some of these folks for their iPhone 4S from next door, so it's pretty much a win-win situation for both companies. See? There's always a happy ending, and let's hope that the upcoming
Nexus Prime won't add fuel to the ongoing patent dispute.
[Thanks, Kevin]
