| Category: iSung It appears that Samsung would like a share of Apple's digital media player market and they have held a press conference to explain how they are going to get it. Byt the time the article was written for the Korea Times and then translated by an amateur enthusiast for English idiom it contains some gems of Engrish such as: iTunes is a famous applicationand But Apple single-handedly dominates the global market with its iPod family, which store media on built-in hard disk drive (HDD) with some exceptions.It doesn't hurt to put a few exceptions on the hard disk along with the media, there's plenty of space, after all. Now the biggest storage-incorporated model available is a 60GB item.The next one may even be regular usage but it sounds wrong somehow: Samsung has now caught wind of the global trend and jumped onto the HDD bandwagon.And, finally, this extraordinary feat During the press conference, Samsung also unveiled its research and development center for digital products for the first time, a mammoth 36-story building in Suwon, Kyonggi Province.That's one hell of a veil and imagine the crane. It's an interesting article overall but I don't like Samsung's chances of achieving its goal: Samsung announced earlier this year it will catch up with Apple and become one of three leading MP3 player manufacturers in 2007 by securing a 25-30 percent global market shareiPod purchase has more to do with the heart than the mind and Jobsy has his users' hearts bound and gagged. |
