Samsung merges camera and mobile divisions

Android cameras have continually lagged behind the iphone in both image quality and performance.

While samsung has probably come the closest, it has never matched the image xperts from cupertino.

Samsung is out to fix that, through, and is doing that in the most brute-force way possible:merging

its mobile and camera divisions.

Samsung Electronics was quoted as saying:We will transplant the brand, sales networks, software competency ,and manufacturing

competitiveness of the wireless business division into the camera

Business Division and integrate the technical know how of the two business divisions into competency for differentiating our smartphones.

So the smartphone group will learn how to make better cameras from the camera group, and the camera group will learn world-domination techniques from the smartphone group. The mobile group's

"software competency" refers to Touchwiz, so don't be surprised if samsung's camera software starts

getting additional features.
