Maybe Samsung had everything but the secret sauce or the right cooks... or Amazon had the money to pursue it and Samsung needed the cash. Maybe Samsung is more concerned with larger displays like the HDTV biz, or maybe it just made more sense for someone looking to acquire the missing pieces to produce a vertically integrated product. Amazon has deep pockets and Bezos seems like a risk taker unafraid to produce a loss leader if it means capturing a huge residual sales market to make a lot more a little farther down the road.
I'm just guessing, anybody follow Amazon and Samsung more closely?
