Samsung sees great growth potential in the touch screen market, especially in this region, and we will continue to focus our R&D efforts and marketing resources to develop this category” said Sandeep Saihgal, general manager of mobile phones at Samsung Gulf Electronics.

With riding strong sales of the TOUCHWiZ phone, Samsung sold more than 10 million units in its touch screen lineup, which is equivalent to achieving a 25 percent share of the global market for full touch screen phones estimated at 37 million units.
