They've tried working with all the major third party OS suppliers and now they're going to try their own (or acquired) OS. They're in a good position no matter which way the market goes. The difference between them and the company they must beat is that their proprietary OS will allow apps to be developed across their whole range. Samsung don't want one UI system for entry level and another for netbooks. Oops. Samsung are aiming to be number 1 handset supplier.

First of all, Apple already tried that, locking an OS to a single manufacturer. The only reason for their success was that it was far better than anything else available at the time, and c'mon, it's Apple, anything they do is big. With a market now being saturated with Android phones, an open platform that works across multiple manufacturers and carriers, I doubt a proprietary OS from one manufacturer could ever make it big.

These statistics are skewed. It should show the % of all samsung phones (dumbphones included) that will be released with android. This would be better because the word "smartphone" is continually changing its definition 30% of samsung SMARTPHONES. These statistics are skewed.

Samsung will use their market share to push their Bada OS through the feature phones. They even state it on the Bada site. Once the OS gains market share on the base of the feature phones the applications running on Bada will grow and it will become a viable smartphone OS too. So, those figures make sense for the OS distribution in smartphones... I really wonder what kind of a platform is it gonna be... It is probably not going to be Java based, since they want it to be usable in feature phones. It probably won't be Qt based, because Nokia owns them. I hope I am wrong... or there will be yet one more completely new platform to learn... I also agree with some1. Samsung will use their market share to push their Bada OS through the feature phones.

Are they stupid? They can't even bring Updates for ONE android phone. How the f*** will they be able to bring more phones. I'm sorry but I will never buy any phone from a company, that drops their support two days after the launch of their phone. Sorry Samsung. You're outta heeeereeeeeee....

I think that the figures that they have here are not only smart phones, but their entire lineup. Therefore, that big percentage running the Sammy OS would be their line of 'dumb' phones. :P At least, that's what I think. I would agree with some1.

Android requires a certain level of powerful hardware before it runs acceptably (as we all know). I would guess the SammyOS will probably be for their cheaper (third world) phones.
