Samsung Makes Play to Take Over the World

"Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. is poised to develop a range of new memory chips and ever thinner LCD screens to keep its lead as Asia's technology powerhouse over the next decade. Samsung, the largest maker of memory chips and liquid crystal display (LCD) screens, is likely to bet on developing next-generation magnetic RAM and ferroelectric RAM chips and organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display technology. Unlike dynamic random access memory (DRAM), magnetic RAM chips keep their stored data after the power is switched off and provide faster computing speeds, while ferroelectric RAM chips have faster data processing speeds than flash memory and need less power. Both technologies are expected to be used in devices ranging from smart cards to high-end mobile handsets."

Just about the only market Samsung can't get figured out is the digital media player, but selling chips to companies such as Apple to put in their own players makes them even bigger than they are now. Samsung is really becoming the next General Electric and a far cry from that horrible microwave oven I had in college.
