We find this very difficult to believe, and very easy to believe in equal measures, so let's just get this out of the way and see what everyone else thinks. With Samsung's focus very much on the Galaxy S III these days, it is full steam ahead for the company's various P.R. departments, and it is one of those departments which is being accused of putting together a rather elaborate advertising campaign.
