World's No. 2 internet and gadget maker Samsung is showing Intel how to succeed in the brave new world of tablets and smartphones.
Samsung's Galaxy Tab is competitive with the iPad: Samsung makes the device and supplies the main chip inside. Here, Intel is playing catch-up.
Samsung's Galaxy Tab is competitive with Apple's iPad: Samsung makes the device and supplies the main chip inside. Here, Intel is playing catch-up.
While Intel is the largest Internet and gadget maker in the world, Samsung is No. 2. And, unlike Intel, it also has a large and successful affiliated consumer arm that churns out products like the Samsung Galaxy Tab. Not surprisingly, many of those products use Samsung silicon too.
That's a vertically integrated strategy that Intel can't match. And that's not all. Samsung also supplies chips to outside customers (Intel's business model) like Apple which use its chips in outrageously popular products like the iPhone and iPad.
The scary part is that the Samsung Galaxy Tab is a solid product and worthy competitor to the iPad, even besting it with features like front and back cameras--a feature you won't see until the iPad 2, most likely.
