$300 million? In what jurisdiction? And do you mean dollars or Korean
Won?

I believe it's been added some more info since I read this page first:

Nothing detailed, though.
I've always wanted a pentaprism on a mobile phone.
On a separate note, Samsung was just convicted of price fixing of memory
chips, and ordered to pay a US$300,000,000 (300 million) fine. They're
the third major memory manufacurer to either plead guilty or be handed a
conviction. Micron was also involved apparently, but won't face charges
since they've "cooperated with authorities" (maybe they were the whistle
blowers).
I remember a few years back hearing accusations by Olympus and other
"Japanese" camera manufacturers that the Korean companies like Samsung
were dumping digital cameras on the market below cost to try to grab
market share. I'm not sure how much truth there was to that accusation,
but it could be one more black mark on Samsung.
This post doesn't have any particular point other than to call out a few
interesting tidbits regarding Pentax's new partner.
