                    Samsung is the most unreliable big company in the world.

                    All they want os just profit, nothing else.

                    Few things to support my argument:

                    1. Remember Samsung Hubs?
                    2. And ChatOn?
                    3. Milk Music
                    4. Milk Video

                    How can you ever trust a company with such a poor tract record. Now I donÂ’t even look at any new service launched by Samsung..because I know it will be shut down sooner or later.

                    Okay agreed they were just services and I can pardon Samsung for it for some extent.

                    But what about these

                    5. Laptops gone (Except in US maybe)

                    6. Cameras gone

                    7. Now No more Samsung printers

                    How can anybody trust buying anything Samsung?

                    And Samsung does it when people actually start using and loving its products and its ecosystem.

                    And agin I am not even considering smaller featues with are dead now:

                    8. Action memo on Note 7
                    9. Colour selection for editing on Note 7
                    10. IR blaster
                    11. Many many nifty software features

                    All in all I can never trust Samsung now.

                    It thinks it can just keep the most profitable business ie. Mobile phone, Display and maybe Memory and Chips.

                    But, Sorry to say say they will eventually fail because the ecosystem Samsung had created is No More. And now I can switch out from Samsung world much more easily.

                    Go to hell Samsung. :(

                                      Wonder if people said the same things when Samsung offloaded their HDD division back in the day? Storage has since moved on though and Samsung are now I think the number 1 SSD supplier? Now if they were to sell a division like that off, I'd be worried.
