  1. But Samsung won't be handling the fabrication of their CIS.

  2. I think these kinds of international business connections are a really good thing, as they tend to take the edge off the us-against-them mentality that people readily adopt.

    On the other hand, the spate of recent consolidation is somewhat scary. I have two small image sensor research projects for which I've been trying to find lab-equipped partners, and going out of business, layoffs, and acquisitions don't bode well for getting my untested innovations tried out.
