So many unanswered questions. I picked up my phone and found this fabulous TED talk that goes so well…

This time I interviewed the fabulously talented photographer, Kiki Xue. “Xue’s photographic work is marked by his belief that ‘true beauty lies within’, and there’s magic to be found.

Samsung Electronics Integrates Digital Imaging Division With Mobile Communications Division
Well, it’s no surprise to us to read in the ETNews report, that we monitor, that Samsung have merged their camera and smartphone communication divisions into one. Smartphones and cameras are merging at an incredible rate of knots and the Samsung Galaxy hybrid is a key example of this trend.
