Hey NZ, poor marketing... why is that?

why do these people always have poor marketing. Can't comment on Samsung or the other guys in the article but for Apple's other rivals they usually OUTSPEND Apple in advertising:

Msft with half it's sales in enterprise spends three times Apple in Advertising.

Dell with about 10-20% of Apple's net profits a quarter spends more on ads than Apple.

Verizon Motorola spent 100 million on the Droid launch alone which is 20% of Apples ENTIRE ad budget of 2009 (iPods, iPhones, Software, Macs, iTunes, Apple stores etc).

Msft is estimated going to spend hundreds of millions to launch WP7 .

I can only conclude that just like in software, hardware Apple rivals ALSO fail vs Apple in marketing...
