Good question. I used to like their phones.

It seems they didn’t see the smart phone ascendancy coming.

Hey Swordmaker! We’ve discussed this issue, and I do favor accuracy myself (especially on desktop monitors), but there’s something special going on in those displays aside from over-saturation. The general consumer could easily go for the Samsung Tabs based on a side by side.

I’m hooked on my iPad, though. All the things that Apple does/does not do to drive people nuts actually creates a consistent, stable environment.

That's Samsung's stock in trade. . . bamboozle the consumer with shiny and big. "Ooh. . . pretty." And ignore that it really isn't that good.

Apparently when Microsoft purchased Nokia, they killed Nokia

Nah. They just kicked the corpse a little. Like Google and Motorola.

That is hard to explain, eh? :’) Maybe the 8 percent is the amount they pay back and forth as the results of their lawsuits against each other? ;’) Regardless, sign me up for a piece of that action!
