Samsung Impact on Device Market

The issue in the smart phone ecosystem right now is whether any of other challengers to Apple and Samsung can claim a significant and permanent role in the device market. The future issue will be whether Samsung can outgrow its hardware roots and become a software leader. 

Some think more success in the enterprise markets would provide some sign Samsung is making that turn successfully. 

Success in challenging Apple's position in tablets remains a work in progress, one might say. But it is hard to deny the impact and leadership Samsung is having in smart phones.
