Berlin  - Connecting digital devices from different manufacturers to one another will be the next step in the "Digital Revolution," Jongwoo Park, the chief executive of conglomerate Samsung, said in a speech Friday in Berlin.

Consumers had the most modern devices available but many of the products could not be networked with one another yet, he said in a speech hailed by organizers of the IFA consumer-electronics trade fair as a keynote address.

Park said users often felt exasperated by the large number of devices they had to master, including televisions, notebook computers, mobile phones, MP3 players and digital cameras.

The challenge for the industry was to integrate that experience.

The South Korean executive said shoppers would soon see many devices that could communicate with one another wirelessly and Samsung aimed to be a trend-setter with its own designs.

IFA opened to visitors Friday and continues till Tuesday next week. (dpa)
