More insights from Eldar: Windows Mobile is dead, new Linux mobile OS from
Samsung

,----[ Quote ]
| So far Samsung has been pretty platform agnostic, merrily churning out phones 
| for any open mobile OS available, with unifying TouchWiz interface on top. 
| But now it seems that Samsung has started working on their own Linux based 
| mobile OS. According to Mobile Review:   
| 
|     (Samsung is) now working on a vertical Linux-based solution of their own, 
|     using their proprietary TouchWiz interface to tie up various platforms 
|     and prepare themselves for the upcoming Linux-powered devicesâ Samsung 
|     might be a little late (with their mobile Linux OS effort), but through 
|     various marketing tricks is covering it up. For now Samsung is spreading 
|     itâs widgets to phones and netbooks, but it is too early to call it fully 
|     vertically integrated solution.

Is Googleâs Android Killing Windows Mobile?

,----[ Quote ]
| I wonder if it will be too late for the company to make a comeback, similar

| lot of focus on Apple v Google, the real battle is actually between Microsoft
| Windows Mobile and Google Android. It looks like Google has drawn its first
| blood.
