Samsung – Where Are They Headed
One week they release an iPad killer , the next their profits have declined , Samsungs Profits Have Declined
Sales are down 9-11 percent and revenue fell by 24 percent , last quarter when the Samsung Galaxy S5 was supposed to be the killer phone
Samsung compete with all the other players , HTC , LG , who have sales that are already flat
Apple on the other hand compete with themselves due to them being a high end device
In the end it seems to be about price not features , design etc
I have switched for a while to the S5 from the iPhone and find little to recommend it apart from “the shiny bright screen “
Its well made but find I am more productive with the iPhone.
I will however keep using it until the new iPhone is released.

Users will go to a site , say download.com , attempt to download say a video editing program , then have to agree to a proliferation of other programs , browser add ons
So many computer infections are occurring with this now – this really is the virus of the 21st century
