Samsung could easily fork Android and set up their own app store (just like Amazon). They account for over 50%(!) of the Android market. Hell, I'd like them to become the new Apple: Apple is ditching most of their peripheral hardware suite, they don't sell routers or displays anymore. If Samsung put in some effort they could create the same level of integration with their displays, phones, laptops, TVs etc. that Apple used to have.

- izacus 10y agoConsidering how terribly they behave in TV market (things like not allowing you to push app updated for more than 1 year old TVs!!!) they would just successfuly destroy their own ecosystem instead of being on equal footing with Apple. Samsung phones are successful due to hardware and DESPITE Samsung doing everything to undermine the experience with their crappy software. Without Google keeping them half sane with Play store limitations, they would already torpedo their whole ecosystem.
- valuearb 10y agoWhat talented engineers would every work for Samsung?
- dba7dba 10y agoYou probably wouldn't say that in front of the Samsung engineers that keep the production lines of their RAM, CPU, displays humming. They are engineers too, and with the scale they deal with, I'd say they are talented engineers.
