Samsung to Discard Windows Phone
,----[ Quote ]
| Among the 40 kinds of Samsung smartphones
| that will be released next year, the
| portion of Windows Phones will be around
| 50%, down from 90% in 2008, and Android-
| based smartphones will be around 30%, or
| over 10 kinds of models, according to a
| recent report by HMC Investment Securities,
| a Seoul-based brokerage firm. Samsung
| expects to discard the Symbian OS from 2011
| and reduce the portion of Windows Phones to
| 20% in 2012.

Samsung Bada unveiled as new iPhone, Android platform rival
,----[ Quote ]
| Instead, Samsungâs considerable resources
| will be devoted toward its own new
| platform, creating more competition and
| differentiation in options among smartphone
| platforms and reducing the energy being
| channeled toward licensed operating
| systems, with Windows Mobile being the
| biggest loser (with the loss of around 1.2
| million of the 3.6 million Windows Mobile
| phones that shipped in Q3 2009), Symbian
| losing a significant licensee entirely, and
| Android facing a rival new marketplace for
| mobile software.

Android Gaining on Microsoft?
,----[ Quote ]
| In fact, Financial Times reporter Chris
| Nuttall claims, Android could soon emerge
| as the major smartphone that isn't the
| iPhone. Android systems now operate on 12
| different phones with 32 phone carriers
| supporting them around the world. And
| Motorola, HTC, and Samsung are all busy
| developing their own Android-based
| handsets.

O'Brien: Why I was wrong about Google's Android
,----[ Quote ]
| It's time for me to do a mea culpa on
| Android.
|
| Google unveiled plans for its mobile
| operating system about two years ago, and
| rolled out the first phone based on
| Android about a year later. In both cases,
| I predicted doom.
|
| But I was wrong.
|
| I finally came to terms with this the
| other day while watching one of those
| suddenly ubiquitous "iDon't" ads on TV. If
| you haven't seen one, the ads slam the
| shortcomings of the iPhone ("iDon't have
| interchangeable batteries") while
| trumpeting the pending arrival of the
| Droid sometime in November.
|
| In this case, Droid is a smart-phone built
| by Motorola for Verizon that uses Android.
| Add those three corporate behemoths
| together, and you have some serious
| marketing dollars available to push this
| thing, whatever it actually turns out to
| be.

Should Microsoft fear invasion of the Androids?

Android 2.0: The iPhone killer at last?
,----[ Quote ]
| In its three years, the iPhone has
| redefined the mobile device. But despite
| the iPhone's popularity, it is by no means
| certain to become the mobile equivalent of
| Windows, the dominant platform that
| defines our experience of a particular
| technology, as well as the business
| choices that surround it.
|
| Google's Android 2.0 OS is the latest in a
| series of mobile offerings seeking to
| derail the iPhone's momentum. Backed by
| heavyweights Google, Motorola, Verizon
| Wireless, Acer, and other big-name
| manufacturers, Android could potentially
| knock the iPhone down a peg. After all,
| while users love the iPhone, Apple's
| controlling tendencies have frustrated
| developers, and its disrespect for
| business concerns have frustrated IT.
