Q.What products and services do you have in the pipeline
Video related features such as video streaming, video telephony, taking and sharing video, and downloading video will become popular over the next couple of years as 3G gains momentum. Therefore we will focus more on our first DMB supporting handset which perfectly matches with all kinds of video related features.
As well as creating phones with innovative features, we will focus on designs of our phones. Samsung has always been recognized for outstanding design leadership, particularly for the clamshell type design. However, we see a new opportunity to expand this leadership into a new design platform like slider phones. Benefits of slide phones include a larger screen size, ease of use and efficiency in design.
Q. What will be Samsung Electronics' future marketing and portable phone development strategy
We believe that mobile phones are best matched with human nature than any other consumer electronics. Because of the desire to be connected with other people, nowadays, people are attached to their mobile phones 24 hours a day. This is why we are trying to improve data communication capabilities of mobile phones to make it possible for continued connectivity. We also believe that future handsets will be a HUB for communication as well as a HUB for our lives and will work towards making this a reality.
We plan to continue market development through various marketing efforts. We are trying to have more efficient global brand campaign such as Olympics, global advertisement, and product placement (e.g. matrix reloaded and so on).
