Samsung Hires 'Actors' To Pretend To Be Happy Galaxy Tab Testers

From: http://www.techdirt.com/articles/201...-testers.shtml

The article concludes with:

Of course, some people will claim that this is standard operating procedure and that everyone should assume that anyone in such a video is clearly an actor, rather than a real person speaking off the cuff. But this is a press launch event and the clear implication by Samsung officials is that these were real people and real interviews. If the product really is as great as they say, why not actually trust real people to say that, rather than hiring actors?

(emphasis mine)

Advertising is advertising, and I am not surprised that they are hiring actors. I have read that the Galaxy Tab (the orig Android 2.2, 7" model) has not done well with consumers (many are returned, and many are in seller's warehouses). Guess thats why they need actors. Probly hard to find real people who love the device.
