Fresh off yesterdays news regarding Samsung’s new, in-house OS called “Bada”, Samsung has announced further information regarding mobile OS’s. To put it bluntly: Samsung and Symbian are done. Over. Ca put. I’m not surprised really. With Nokia showcasing Maemo which is light years ahead of the rickety ship that is Symbain and no worthwhile evolutionary changes in the pipeline, it only seems natural (and financially smart) to dump Symbian. Samsung isn’t going cold turkey however as they plan to start phasing out Symbain…now…with the last Symbain devices crawling through the graveyard in 2010.

From 2010 on (after Symbian gets dropped), all OS’s on Samsung devices will be of the Bada variant. It’ll be interesting to see how (1) Android evolves on Samsung devices or if it too will be dropped and (2) how mobile developers will react to another platform to put forth resources. Any thoughts?

**Update: Yaa….that’s not quite how it’s going down. Samsung has changed course or a misunderstanding floated through the pipelines. Find out the real deal right over here…
