In 2001, we’ll continue work on the communications
technologies that’ll make us a leader in tomorrow’s global
3G mobile multimedia networks. We’ll launch our first
CDMA and GSM phones built on the Microsoft smart
phone platform, giving users seamless access to next-
generation wireless information and entertainment
services. We’ll also expand our cdma2000 1x and GPRS
mobile phone offerings.
During the year, we expect our cdma2000 1x network
solution to be deployed nationwide in Korea. As part of
our market diversification efforts, we’ll also continue work
on network solutions for W-CDMA, the 3G migration
choice for today’s GSM networks.
Samsung notebook PCs will continue to get lighter,
thinner, and faster in the coming year. We intend to
maintain our commanding 50% market share at home as
we build on our impressive 100% sales growth that
pushed overseas revenues to US$3.3 billion in 2000. Our
Yepp Internet audio player and Nexca digital camera lines
will also continue to gain convergence features and
connectivity options that will empower them to become
even more active participants in tomorrow’s mobile
networks.
