The truth may lie somewhere in between, who knows? Even this article, that ostensibly corrects the original story with Samsung denying the rumor, ends with: An industry source told CNET the relationship between the two has broken down and they will part ways after existing agreements are fulfilled. "The Apple-Samsung relationship has deteriorated to such a poor point that they're just looking to fill contractual obligations, then make a change," the source said. For now, Apple will continue to get some LCD panels from Samsung Display, but that might change as Apple continues it's legal battle with Samsung. The two are due back in U.S. courts Dec. 6. http://www.techradar.com/news/world-of-tech/samsung-denies-rumors-it-will-stop-selling-displays-to-apple-1106558 It would make sense to me, if it turns out to be true in the end. Samsung is essentially boosting and supporting the market position of it's main competitor, and that makes little business sense, especially when the competitor is suing you in court. It's parallel to another story that Wal-Mart will cease to carry Amazon Kindle Fires because Amazon is offering the Wal-Mart customer a complete 'shopping ecosystem' that competes directly with Wal-Mart itself. (Why wasn't Wal-Mart smart enough to figure that out before?) Another story I read on Samsung/Apple voiced the opinion of 'Who Cares?", as technology is moving so quickly that the suit weill quickly be irrelevant. :) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
