Samsung's Developments in 2008: Partnership with CNN
One of the major developments which occurred for Samsung for the year 2008 was its partnership with CNN International. The news was announced June of 2008 - where Samsung handsets will feature the CNN application exclusively to its devices.
As such, the CNN Samsung phones will be launched in the following regions:
- Africa
- Asia Pacific
- Europe
- Latin America
- Middle East
This makes it easier for mobile phone users to access CNN's multimedia news services. Some of the CNN mobile phone applications include CNN video headlines, access to the CNN citizen journalism website and interactive maps. The agreement was supposed to last for six months - no word yet on whether the exclusivity clause will be extended.
All in all, however, this is definitely great news for all the Samsung handset users who want to experience a rich multimedia experience through the services offered by CNN and Samsung.
The Emporio Armani-Samsung Mobile, Night Effect
Another major development which Samsung has undergone for the year 2008 is its partnership with luxury fashion brand Giorgio Armani.
Every once in a while, a fashion brand such as Armani merges with an electronic company such as Samsung to come up with innovations in the mobile phone industry - that will suit the taste of even the most discriminating fashion critics.
This already occurred last year when the two companies first launched the Giorgio Armani-Samsung mobile phone. This mobile phone has a large 2.6-inch screen, a graphical user interface and it is only 9.9 mm in thickness. Despite its slim build, the Giorgio Armani mobile phone is packed with features such as a 3-Megapixel camera, a music player and a full Internet browser.
For 2008, a similar phone will be launched: the Emporio Armani Samsung mobile phone Night Effect. The design is an eye candy which reflects the high-fashion designs of Giorgio Armani himself.
What makes the Night Effect phone is its focus on "lights, music and talk". The mobile phone is sleekly designed and is music-dedicated, with a LED light on the side which lights up a fabulous green, blue or red color whenever a call is accepted or received.
There's no doubt that this fashion phone will be a hit among the young mobile phone users.

Last August, Samsung also launched its first "green" mobile phone, the W510 which is ecologically friendly. The Samsung M3510, Samsung M3200 and the Samsung i640 are the other handsets which the company launched this year.
