NEW YORK--Samsung plans to co-market a new line of digital music players with the soon-to-be-relaunched Napster 2.0 service, in a move to boost its brand image among youthful consumers.
The announcement on Tuesday at the company's annual showcase here also included the introduction of nearly a dozen new products, ranging from mobile phones with tiny built-in television sets to huge TV screens.
The new Napster-ready device will be available in retail stores this fall, Samsung said.
"Samsung is trying to do what Apple Computer has done with its iPod music players and iTunes online music store," said Michael Kelleher, an analyst with market research firm Yankee Group in Boston. "Certainly if Napster can build itself up as a legitimate file-sharing portal, then that's good for Samsung."
