  • "South Korea Reassesses Its Great Imitator" ["'The ruling makes us reconsider the brand value of Samsung because it depicts Samsung as a copycat,' said James Song, who monitors Samsung for KDB Daewoo Securities in Seoul. 'But a copycat or not, what Samsung has done with its smartphones was a brilliant move.' 'Look what has happened to companies like Nokia, Motorola and BlackBerry, which didn't do as Samsung did,' Mr. Song added, referring to competitors whose failures to adapt quickly to the smartphone boom driven by iPhones have drastically reduced their market shares. 'Samsung may lack in innovation, but right now, no one can beat Samsung in playing catch-up.'"]  New York Times [Free/Paid Registration Required] 8:09 AM
