Samsung Moves in Smartphone Race

From WSJ:

>>Samsung posted the most growth of any smartphone maker in the third quarter of 2010, said researcher IDC, claiming 8.9% of the market, up from 3.0% a year earlier. Overall, Samsung is the world's fourth-largest smartphone maker, trailing Nokia Corp., Apple Inc. and BlackBerry maker Research in Motion Ltd., according to IDC.

At this week's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the producer of everything from chips to cellphone screens to tablets is rolling out new 4G smartphones that are featuring prominently in the lineups of Verizon Wireless and AT&T Inc., the two largest U.S. carriers. Next month, the South Korean company is going to announce a new slate of tablets of different sizes at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
