Windows Mobile will be used in 20% of Samsung devices by 2012

Windows Mobile will be used in 20% of Samsung devices by 2012

According to Telecoms Korea, Samsung will use Windows Mobile in 50 percent of their devices next year and they will reduce this to 20 percent by 2012.  To replace Windows Mobile, Samsung will use Android and their own operating system, Bada.  Earlier today Samsung announced the launch of its own open mobile platform, Bada.  Bada will become available in December and looks to be the new addition to Samsung’s mobile ecosystem which will enable developers to create applications for millions of new Samsung mobile phones.  The move by Samsung to leave Windows Mobile behind is clearly a sediment shared by other manufacturers after the lackluster release of Windows Mobile 6.5, but the real question is whether more manufacturers will follow Samsung, Motorola and HTC.

Dr Hosoo Lee, Executive Vice President and Head of Media Solution Center at Samsung Electronics said, “By opening Samsung’s mobile platforms we will be able to provide rich mobile experiences on an increasing number of accessible smartphones.” He added, “bada will be Samsung’s landmark, iconic new platform that brings an unprecedented opportunity for operators, developers and Samsung mobile phone users around the world.”

The official website (www.bada.com) will open on November 10th and will feature a range of information on bada including updates on product launches, features, and event notices. Samsung will also host an official launch event for bada in London, UK in December and will also unveil its bada software development kit (SDK) to developers for the first time on this date.
