Usually, memory manufacturers announce forthcoming shortages, resulting in an increase in pricing which is to their benefit. Hence, when a manufacturer, especially a giant like Samsung, announces the opposite it gets the whole world's attention.
Samsung has announced that during the last quarter of 2010 it is in danger of having a significant over-supply of DRAM. This is essentially linked to the unexpected slow-down in sales of desktop computers. It's also provoked by the popularity of mobile devices, telephones and tablets which contain much less memory than a traditional computer.
In any case, if you'll be needing to fill up your computer with RAM in the near future, you should be able to find some good deals.
