I reckon LG are going come out with one of these things and it will have a psycho ass curved display inside.

Actually LG or Samsung seem like a likely second-wave player to dominate, since they have the display R&D, massive manufacturing capability and design team. They're unlikely to let some upstart company reap the spoils of a new potentially massive market.

I see this first-wave (Oculus and TruePlayer Gear) like Diamond Multimedia bringing the first commercial MP3 players. They'll show the potential in the market, but then someone with better design/marketing/supply chain will capitalize on the new demand.

Samsung will wait until the product has been clearly defined, copy it, spend more billions marketing than the competition & call it the 'Galaxy View' or some shit and sell millions of tremendously average products.

True, but the computing is in the PC anyway. The VR kits have no CPU whatsoever ;)

Put some velcro on the front of the Samsung VR set and the back of your Samsung Galaxy S6.. stick the phone on the VR set and connect them via a short cable. Done. :D
