It wasn't too long ago that Samsung were saying that Windows Phoe 7 wasn't on top of their to-do list in terms of their commitment to it. Head of Marketing YH Lee told Reuters that "There is still some professional, specialised demand there [for Windows Phone 7]." That didn't sound like a ringing commitment to produce a multitude of handsets.
Fast forward to the present and Samsung are now giving a different spiel:
Next year, Samsung will introduce 15 to 20 new smart-phone models using Android, Windows, and Brada [sic] operating systems. For every 50 smart phones using Windows, it will make 24 using Android and five using Brada [sic].
Android is still heavily featured in Samsung's line-up, but it's Windows Phone 7 that now seems to be dominating their smartphone plans. Bada, their own OS, seems to be relagted to being a niche player. As for Symbian, well that's effectively been dropped by the wayside if you recall.

Gingerbread is just around the corner, Eric Schmidt himself said so at Web 2.0 just the other day, but exactly what the newest version of Android will bring still isn't exactly clear.
However, it does look as if the Marketplace will be getting some much needed love and a slew of welcome changes, which will probably launch alongside Gingerbread. The changes include higher resolution graphics, no doubt to coincide with Android making an appearance on devices with larger screens such as tablets and televisions.
Devs will also be given the option of including a YouTube video in their app promo and there will also be the option of submitting up to 8 screenshots of the app, the maximum resolution of which will be 480x800. Not only would that mean that devices with larger screens are catered for, it might just be a signal that a web based interface for the market is on the cards.

Undoutedly today's biggest talking point is the Steve Wozniak interview with Dutch paper Der Telegraaf, in which he said Apple would ultimately loose the smartphone race to Google. For those of us lookin at the numbers as they roll in each quarter that admission comes as no great surprise, Android is already the second most popular smartphone OS in the world and will likely take the top position sometime next year.
However, Woz's comments carry a lot of weight, this is one of the founders of Apple after all and behind Steve Jobs, even more than Steve Jobs for some, the Woz is Apple. The Woz based hs prediction on the fact that Android simply has more features, or in other words it has more to offer.
That's not to say that the Woz was criticising the iPhone, he heaped praise upon it saying that he 'Has very few weak points. There aren't any real complaints or problems. In terms of quality, the iPhone is leading."
The Woz also revealed that Apple got onboard with a leading Japanese electronics company back in 2004 to develop a phone. He went on to say that Apple were happy with the outcome, but they wanted something that would 'amaze the world' so the iPhone was born and the collaboration with the Japanese ended.
As if all of that weren't enough the Woz had some pretty candid criticism for Nokia, calling them 'the brand from a previous generation'. Given the Finnish company's recent performance and their sliding popularity he doesn't look to be far wrong. Hey, he's the Woz!

iOS is undoutedly the reason many choose an iPhone in the first place (considering the hardware issues some might say it's the only reason), but perhaps you've been hankering after Android. If so LifeHacker has some good news for you ...
