Samsung to Enter Digital Music Retail Biz

According to reports yesterday, Samsung has plans to compete with iTunes and the many other digital music stores on the 'net with a store of their own. There's no word on what format the music files sold will be delivered as or if this store will have cross platform support. Samsung apparently believes the online store is the key to surpassing Apple in digital music player sales.

Okay, I have to stop. I'm laughing so hard while typing this that it's too difficult to concentrate. Are they serious?? I mean the digital music playing field is crowded as it is. You have Apple, Yahoo, Sony, Napster, plus stores hosted in other countries just to name a few. I can see the added value of having complementary software for purchasing music if you own a Samsung player, but to think it's going to totally trump Apple's iTunes/iPod phenomena is nutz
