It seems that Steve Jobs continues to verbally trashtalk Samsung. Up next... a well known mis-quote:

So very, very sad. Many people will see this statement, but few will ever see a retraction, due to the difference in popularity of the respective venues. I don't think this was a mistake -- not by a long shot.

It's very interesting that Jobs is taking dead aim at Samsung. I suspect he feels most of his competition coming from this camp. The Galaxy S is a wildly popular smartphone, and the Tab is selling through with impressive numbers. Lastly, Samsung has that same incremental improvement philosophy, and it shows. The Galaxy S 2 looks to be an unrivaled smartphone in terms of quality, and the Tab 2 the king of the Android tablets.

Samsung alone may have the chops to take Apple head-on, and Honeycomb is differentiated enough from iOS to be an interesting competitor.

Interesting times ahead.
