Samsung will develop a mobile operating system based on Linux

When creating their mobile phones, Samsung has never had problems choose different operating systems depending on the needs of the moment or who was directed to each specific model. Thus, from proprietary systems have been used to Windows Mobile (Samsung Omnia), Android (Samsung Galaxy) or S60 (Samsung i8910).

But do not feel averse to other systems or even to develop other self, this time based on Linux, as confirmed by Dong-hoon Chan, responsible for design of mobile terminals. When ready, do you paint or you will be based on some pre-existing system has not asserted.

It seems strange that disposing of Android, which is based on Linux, deciding to develop your own again, but seeing as Nokia has reinvented itself with N900 and Maemo 5, maybe this is a strategy that will bear fruit in the future .
