Samsung, Napster Team Up

Samsung is working with Roxio to develop a line of portable audio players that will carry the brand names of both Samsung and Roxio’s Napster service…The announcement came a day after a co-branded Samsung-Napster hard disk drive-based MP3 player received approval from the FCC…

Reuters: “Samsung is trying to do what Apple Computer has done with its iPod music players and iTunes online music store,” said Michael Kelleher, an analyst with market research firm Yankee Group in Boston. “Certainly if Napster can build itself up as a legitimate file sharing portal, then that’s good for Samsung.”
