This story seems very strange to me. As you say, why would Samsung do this? In what universe do the events described in the article sound like the actions of a rational company?
The whole story is entirely one-sided and to be honest if it sounds too crazy to be true, I suspect it probably is too crazy to be true.
- csense 14y ago> rational company If you're a tiny startup, your internal communication lines and org chart are small and simple enough that everybody is usually on the same page. But if you're a huge company like Samsung, it's very easy to have situations where the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing. That may well be what happened here. Never underestimate the power of human stupidity.

- brokenparser 14y agoYou don't need Kies to transfer files to your tab, in fact you don't need Kies at all since they "leaked" ODIN (which has been independently re-implemented as "Heimdall", not to be confused with Heimdal).
- kenster07 14y agoAgreed. The one-sidedness and irrationality of the story caught my attention immediately.
