IntoMobile,South Korea wants to ship billion worth of mobile phones in 2012, did billion in 2007,

The South Korean Ministry of Knowledge (that sounds like a totally bad ass department for a country to have) has said that by 2012 they want to export billion worth of mobile phones versus billion in 2007.

When I say South Korea I really mean LG and Samsung. This isn't the first time the small country has beat its chest, Samsung recently became the number 2 mobile phone manufacture in the world and LG broke a record in terms of devices shipped in a quarter for Q1 of this year. They're hungry.
