"Investors are a bit concerned that Samsung's momentum may slow in the first half."

I dont know exactly what to feel about these ... investors, pity maybe?! Why the hell are they concerned that much when they make the same money as previous quarter? The hell, $8.3 billion is a LOT OF MONEY!!! Well, I guess rich investors get richer cause many of us love this toys so much.

On another. I'm neither an Apple nor Android fan, used both os's till now. Since a few years commenters on dailytech keep saying that competition on the market is good(with which I agree) and that prices go down. What prices people? Since the first Iphone came and the competition woke up I never seen prices of these new devices to go down. Sure you can buy them cheaper after a few months as second hands(as I always did) but get your heads out of your a$$es. Since the smartphone war being the prices have been at the same level and will never go down.

Prices do come down but not for the leading edge stuff. Once other companies start making the products months later, you see the competition driving the lower prices.

Now if you're talking about cutting edge stuff or new gadgets and widget or whatever, you're always going to be paying a premium to have the latest or to showoff to the rest of the block.

When Google jumped into the fray with its own Nexus line, a lot of people jumped at the chance to get some good tech at a lot cheaper prices, and I don't see them squawking about the cost though a lot of people did squawk about missing things but that's the price you pay, you want something better or with more features then there are options at higher costs.

I look at it as there are many, many options available for the consumers, you want cheap go for devices with less features or not cutting edge, those are available, you want features be willing to pay for it.

I don't even own a smartphone, just a regular non-texting cell phone. I'm just doing research until I'm ready to take the plunge or need to update my daughter's smartphone. Oh yeah, I bought my daughter's smartphone for $50 from a co-worker and that was worth it.
