Samsung is already driving innovation.  They won the most
IDEA awards last year (tied with Apple) as well as in 2000
or 2001 if I remember correctly.

No, I don't work for Samsung or hold their stock (though I
wish I had bought it in 2001 after visiting their design
studios - would have paid off handsomely :)
