Samsung partners with Best Buy for stores within stores

Samsung has announced a major partnership with Best Buy today, with the latter adding 1400 Samsung Experience Shops within their retail locations across the U.S.

The Experience Shops will be run by "Samsung Experience Consultants" who are trained to provide demonstrations and give instructions on all Samsung mobile products including smartphones, tablets, laptops, connected cameras and accessories.



Additionally, "Smart Service" at the Shops will help customers with Samsung account set up, warranty issues and registration and all "post purchase support."

Best Buy locations currently have dedicated Apple counters, but they are not manned by Apple employees.

It was not meant to be serious other than the fact that Apple claims to invent everything they steal from everyone else or at the very least claim to be the first to have done it making them innovative and revolutionary.

I would think that the majority of people, who read your post, would know that you were being sarcastic. I got a good chuckle out of your post.
