This reminds me of a conversation I had with my Dad as a kid... Why would someone, who is already quite wealthy, risk everything and partake in something illegal to get even richer?

I'm wondering the same thing now... why would Samsung risk tarnishing their name when the GS4 is already considered the fastest mobile device in existence?

The only thing I can think of is that they could care less about their integrity or corporate image... they simply need to focus on catering to a tech-obsessed population with the fastest, highest resolution beast of a handset, everything else be damned.

What's wrong with a few "hardware optimized" apps to ensure that crown sits atop a Samsung device a bit longer?
