Samsung CEO issues a battle cry on employees, big software push to follow
Hot on the heels of 30 million Galaxy S III handsets sold, and 3 million Note IIs, Samsung Electronics' CEO is issuing a battle cry to the troops that 2013 is expected to be very sluggish for the world's economy, so they must come up with something really innovative to keep the company's momentum going.

The handset division accounted for the lion's share of Samsung $7 billion plus profit last quarter, but the company makes many more other things, which could be a factor for growth as well.

There are two key pre-conditions; building up distinctive software platforms and eco-system.” If we read this right, we can expect a big effort to go towards Samsung's Nature UX Android interface, among other things, and the company's media Hub apps that allow access to movies, music and books on its mobile devices. 

He tried to make things abundantly clear for the troops going forward with a bit of corporate pep talk:
