samsung is gonna flood the market with phones
they are also in a unique position in that they supply key components for othe phone brands like displays and chips.
i think i have read already that they are restricting at least at first this new super amoled screen to only their models.
this type of situation could be some of the driving force behind apple doing their own chip manufacturing and nokia partnering with intel.

It (in theory) has somewhat better color quality, but otherwise its lifetime is shorter, and generally it is far worse in many aspects than a regular LCD screen.
I don't know why it is so hyped.

Just kidding, it does have nice color and supposedly less power consumption and power consumption is a big factor for mobile

I would be willing to bet in the smartphone boom pre-now, many many phones had a very high samsung parts content

"The Android 2.1-powered Vibrant has some hefty features, including a 1GHz Cortex A8 Hummingbird processor, a 4-inch Super AMOLED display, a 5-megapixel AF camera/camcorder with LED flash, and a microSD card slot.
T-Mobile is even throwing in Avatar pre-loaded on the 2GB of storage space. Available on July 21, expect to pay $199.99 with a two-year contract. Eager beavers can pre-order this one starting on July 1 with the purchase of a $50 gift card. Interesting."
