He already said that before christmas.

And it was mentioned - briefly- in the general meeting autum 2014 ---- more like 'we'll need to have a plan B in case...'.

Samsung is a better fit than the mentioned Sony. Sony has big problems of it's own.

I was semi-joking but Samsung's management did express admiration of B&O style and design philosophy during their brief phone collaboration and Samsung's TV's did leap to the aluminium surround (effect) during that period. I think that they realise, much like the far eastern car manufacturers, that they cannot match the design flair and imagination and are much better at the technological and manufacturing issues.

Far rather them than a certain American company who are arrogant enough to think they can do better - the sales might increase but the soul would die!

Apple, they keep talking (or maybe it's others) about moving into the TV market.... Or Microsoft, buying Nokia may just give them the taste of out doing Google.

But isn't any companies game plan to win over investment or sell....
