Looks like Samsung is shelling out some serious cash for advertisements , we showed you a cool ad from them yesterday and now here is another one for the Omnia 2. The have taken the inspiration from the iPhone for these ads and have to say i am impressed with the ad, Windows Mobile ads have never looked better.

TechCrunch has recently published a video which puts typing on Windows Mobile ( Samsung Omnia II with Swype Input Keyboard ) against the multi-touch keyboard on the iPhone. There are also rumors that Swype will be included in a new Android phone in the first quarter of 2010.
