It looks like Samsung will be devising a big pushing with Android, as the company said more than 50% of its smartphone volition rock that little K automaton.
This is a great sign for Android because Samsung has enormous reach as the second-biggest French telephone manufacturer in the world. Getting cozy with Android could also lead Samsung to potentially integrate it into other products in the future tense, maybe TVs.
So, what kind of handsets can we looking forward to? Well, I think it’s safe to say that the Moment was just a clunky first attempt. We had a chance to play with the Galaxy S at CTIA and this baby is a beaut. Right away, the super AMOLED blind pops out because it’s so crisp and vibrant. It also rocks a 1Ghz processor, Android 2.1 OS, 5-megapixel shooter and all the connected goodness you expect from a gimmick of this class. Check out the embedded video recording below for a finisher look.
As for the company’s dwelling-grown operating organization, bada, Samsung plans to use this for 1-third of its smartphones. This appliance-tastic OS is already on the Wave and, piece I really don’t like having so many chopine, it seems pretty solid. During our hands-on time, we were pretty impressed with how smooth and responsive it was. I don’t know how many developers it volition attract but it appears Samsung will aim bada devices at the low remainder of the market.
So, my computer-like brain tells me there’s a little bit of leftovers in Samsung’s mathematics. We know its going to make at least 1 Windows Phone 7 French telephone and we whitethorn see a Symbian device, too. I think it’s a solidness strategy to put option most of you resources stern a one chopine but distillery support others in order to covering fire your bases. Samsung also has a long ton of resources, so net ball’s promise it tin execute.
