Samsung Passes Apple in the Smartphone Arena

You can read the Reuters article here.

This was interesting to me because Apple products (especially the iPhone) are intensely popular here.  Granted, Samsung is a South Korean company, but I see so many Apple products everywhere I might have expected them to be more coveted.

I personally have a Samsung smartphone (the Samsung Galaxy S II), and I've enjoyed my experience with it.  Two of the main reasons I'm not ecstatic about Apple products include their exorbitant prices and Apple's poor (and frustrating!) customer service, even to the point of ignoring consumer complaints about new products that don't deliver straight out of the box.  I enjoyed the line in the article that said Samsung "tries to offer the Apple experience at a better price with better functionality."  It's a good time to be in South Korea.  Congratulations, 삼성!
