I picked up this information from a member of the P4P. Samsung is ready or will launch a new A3 Color MFP @ 40ppm for under $5,000!
I've done a few searches and have found nothing to date on this unit, so I can't comment on cost per page, features, and specs. The information states that this unit is designed to compete with HP's Color LaserJet 4730MFP.
All of this brings me to another point that I've been pounding for a few years now. Ricoh, Canon, KonicaMinolta, Sharp, etc.. need to step it up a notch in R & D. They need to bring to market A3 devices that will have the same cost as their A4 devices ASAP! Samsung, and HP will get better and better at the interfaces, these systems will become more popular because of price. These systems will take away business from Dealership and Direct Branches! If you want to blow them away you need to develop the A3 device with 11x17 scanning, and a cpp like A4 machines. A few months ago, it was rumored that Samsung was coming to market with a 50ppm mono device.

Great Review! Well written and quite descriptive as well.. If any item or topic comes out then you should be the one releasing it to the public and make it known! The way you describe it is very intriguing and feels like candy to my ears, if that really makes any sense :) but you catch my drift.. In one of my classes, we were given a paper with instructions of how to build a swan made of aluminum foil and we had to explain to our group verbally how to construct the swan.. It was difficult! But, manageable and we came second in place, but it was tasky :) Nevertheless if you post anything else up I will most definitely check it out! Great review!
