Nerd Grind — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 13:30:25 +0000

It’s tough for a cellphone to be small enough to fit in your pocket and also big enough to pack a pretty display capable of doing everything you need done. Samsung is attempting to bridge this gap with a cellphone that features a foldable OLED display.

The company showed off the concept phone at the FPD International show in Yokohama. It opens like a book and reveals the flexible OLED, which clocks in at 2.5-inches. The company has offered no word as to when or if they’d put the phone into production. It seems like a great idea, though. Below is a video of the presentation:

The system sends image data directly to the camera’s display and captures it as a modified SpeedTagged JPEG when it comes time to take a photo. The Scalado Camera Solution also provides instantaneous photos, real-time preview, and pan and zoom. Several camera manufacturers, including Samsung and Aptina, have already pledged to support the system. It looks like camera lag may finally go the way of the dodo. Thank goodness.

Here is a video of the system in action for you disbelievers:

Nerd Grind — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 13:44:20 +0000

According to research by Strategy Analytics, Samsung is now the leading cellphone vendor in the US. The company’s ascension to the top spot has pushed Motorola into second place. During last quarter, Samsung managed to push it’s sales up 6.2 percent over the previous years results to 47.4 million handsets.

Motorola’s market share fell from 32.7 percent last year to just 21.1 percent this year. Sources indicate this is due to the lack of an Android-type phone until late next year, therefore the company has nothing to compete with the iPhones and the G1s of the world. Sorry Moto.

Nerd Grind — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 11:17:45 +0000

Samsung managed to sell 52 million phones last quarter, besting Sony and coming within spitting distance of the Apple iPhone. However, the company’s overall profit is still down 44 percent, due to aggressive pricing and marketing. Samsung’s profits for last quarter were a respectable $850 million dollars. Not too shabby.

The handset division led sales for the company, clocking in at 52 million phones sold. This could be accounted by Samsung’s recent adoption of the "Nokia strategy", which features big pushes at both the high and low ends of the market. Samsung has managed to prove that although times are tough, the financial storm can be weathered.
