Samsung seems to be getting into the Olympic party spirit — first we had yesterday’s announcement of the limited edition Galaxy Note and Galaxy Y, and now we’re seeing fruits of the relationship with David Beckham, the company’s official representative of the Games. Samsung has released a new commercial featuring the LA Galaxy (see what they did there?) star talking on the Note before kicking out a rendition of Ode to Joy with some drums and a soccer ball. The video was leaked a few days ago, but has now been posted to Samsung’s Korean site.
