Samsung "Level" Line

[Zing]

Who saw this coming?

"After Apple acquired Beats, it wasn’t going to be long before Samsung was selling expensive audio accessories of its own. Rather than buying an already well-established brand, however, the South Korean company has today launched its own. It’s called Level, and it currently boasts three sets of headphones and one good-looking wireless speaker."

I thought Samsung was past the "me too" phase.

Nobody in Tech will ever be past the "me too" phase. You're either leading or you're catching up.

You guys do realize it takes about a year to complete development, manufacturing, marketing, supply chain, distribution, and legal/regulatory activities to launch a product. Samsung has probably been planning this announcement for well over 6 months. The last thing it is... by far... is a "reaction" to Apple.

Someone theorized on this forum the Apple acquisition of Beats was a preemptive strike. That appears to be the case.

And that's for a commercial company. For the guv'mint, it takes around 23 years.

That's a bit optimistic.

No, it's pretty dead-on; I've included purchases like Kleenex and pens.
