Score one for Samsung in its eternal struggle against South Korean nemesis LG. Whereas the Life's Good crew were licking their
Q4 2010 wounds yesterday, Samsung's had the pleasure of announcing that the final quarter of last year helped it bust through all its previous fiscal records: total revenue ($139b), net income ($14b), and operating profit ($15.5b) all reached all-time highs. The fourth quarter's contribution was $2.7b in operating profit, 80.7 million mobile devices sold, 12.72 million flat panel TVs shipped, and two million Galaxy Tabs distributed to Android lovers yearning for some
Froyo. That last number's pretty important as it shows the Tab's sales have almost doubled over the last month of the quarter -- it reached
one million sales in early December -- indicating that there is indeed a hunger for slate-based computing. Oh, and if you're wondering what Samsung's planning for the future, there's a reminder that a device with a Super AMOLED Plus screen and a dual-core processor is coming to
replace the Galaxy S in the first half of 2011. Good to know.
[Thanks, Tascien]
