Although many of us are "on the lookout" for any signs of April Fool's Jokes today, that doesn't stop folks from trying to catch us off guard. Both Samsung and HTC just send out some news releases today, and if they didn't end up being the exact same thing, we might have given at least one of them a second thought. Unfortunately, their PR teams should have coordinate different jokes, because they both offered up the same trick story. I guess they inadvertently pranked each other...
Both Samsung and HTC claim they will be launching a Smart Glove. The HTC version is called the "gluuv" and the Samsung version is called the Samsung Fingers. The press release from Sammy actually does a great job at poking fun of several idiosyncrasies in consumers. We especially laughed at the the part about "talk to the hand." The web-landing page from HTC shows they went all out with colorful graphics and a convincing looking product flier description. If it didn't look like something out of an eighties space opera, it might have almost been believable.
Either way, they are both entertaining and worth a few minutes of your time. Check out the source links below to see the full prank from each.
