Like this Press Release from today?
"Samsung lowers its sights
Samsung president Lee Ki-tae has indicated that the South Korean
vendor will turn its attention to low-end handsets, an area that it
has traditionally steered clear of."

or
"David Steel, vice president marketing at Samsung's Consumer
Electronics Unit, told Reuters although Samsung was the world's No. 20
brand in 2005, taking over the position of Japanese rival Sony Corp,
which fell to No. 28, according to Interbrand the company feels it
does not yet have an exclusive place in a consumer's heart."

"Arguing with anonymous strangers on the Internet is a sucker's game
because they almost always turn out to be -- or to be indistinguishable from
-- self-righteous sixteen-year-olds possessing infinite amounts of free time."
