Samsung to release it’s own version of “iTunes”
October 31, 2005
Samsung Electronics, a Korean digital products giant, is seeking to have its own version of iTunes to help push its MP3 player hardware forward. The market for MP3 players is so far dominated by Apple Computer Inc. in many countries, and a large part of that success has been based on the fact that the iPod music players and iTunes music store and tied together. Samsung has noticed the effect this had on iPod sales and now hopes to do the same itself.
“We are now in talks with our partners to debut a service program like iTunes of Apple. Our No. 1 priority is to help customers use our products with ease,” Samsung president Choi Gee-sung said. “Our items show healthy performances in China and Southeast Asian countries where iTunes services are not provided”. Samsung entered the MP3 Player market late but the company has a reputation of taking on big rivals and ultimately beating them.
