(1)    Google chairman Eric Schmidt will be visiting Samsung on Wednesday to meet with top executives that may include Samsung Electronics vice chairman Lee Jay-yong, sources told The Korea Herald.

* meet with – 만나다, 회담을 가지다

(2) The focus seems to be not on hardware, but how to more efficiently run them on better software.

* focus – 주요 핵심

(3) The talks, the first this year but second following a meeting in 2012, are likely to address how Samsung can further develop applications for Google’s Android smartphones, which was central in the first global developer’s conference hosted by Samsung Electronics in San Francisco this week.

*address: 대응하다 (동사) / 연설, 호칭 (명사)

* was central in: 중요한 역할을 하다, 주요하다

(4) At the conference, Samsung indicated it wants Android to stand apart, announcing it has rolled out five software development kits to make it easier for developers to create apps.

* stand apart: 차별화되다

*roll out: 생산하다

(5) “Samsung has been increasingly working on improving and strengthening software amid criticism that it’s falling behind, so that’s one area that the two sides may talk about,” said one source.

*work on: 노력하다, 연습하다

*fall behind: 뒤쳐지다

(6) Working more closely with startups and bolstering software and related services may be another area Samsung wants to discuss with Google, for these also are areas deemed to be the Korean tech giant’s weaknesses.

(7) Accordingly, Schmidt, an engineer-turned-tycoon, will be talking about bolstering startups during his talks at Seoul National University on Thursday.

*engineer-turned-tycoon: 한때 엔지니어였지만 지금은 거물이 된

(8) Discussions on how the partners may brave the rapidly-changing industry environment also may be a part of the agenda.

*brave: 용감하다 (형용사) / 견디다, 이겨내다, 맞서다 (동사)

*agenda: 의도, 회의안건

(9) Nokia has already unveiled its first Windows-based tablet, while HTC has signed up to provide “Amazon phones.” Apple, meanwhile, has announced a bevy of new devices including the 5S, 5C and the iPad Air.

* a bevy of: 여러 종류의, 여러 개의

(10) Meanwhile, Schmidt is holding extensive meetings with the Culture Ministry and participating in related cultural events including the Big Tent 2013 that focuses on how the two sides will promote Korea, which Google has been doing extensively via YouTube.

*meanwhile: 한편

(11) Google also has pledged $1 million for Korea’s Hangeul Museum located in Yongsan.

(12) Schmidt, however, won’t be meeting with Science, ICT and Future Planning Ministry officials including the minister. “There’s nothing on our agenda,” said a Science Ministry official close to the matter.
