Samsung: ‘we are prioritizing our Android platform’
Samsung may be one of the big players that Microsoft is pinning its hopes on for Windows Phone 7 , but you wouldn't know that from listening to the company at IFA. Speaking to Reuters at the show, Samsung's head of marketing for its mobile division, YH Lee, said flatly that "we are prioritizing our Android platform," adding that, "Android is very open and flexible, and there is a consumer demand for it." Lee further went on to note that the company will continue to focus on its own Bada platform (at least outside of North America), but seemingly downplayed Windows Phone 7 when asked about it, saying only that " there is still some professional, specialized demand there." Ouch. Oh, and in case you're wondering, Samsung also says it's " not seeing visible demand for Symbian." Samsung: 'we are prioritizing our Android platform' originally appeared on Engadget on Thu, 02 Sep 2010 14:51:00 EST.

Google’s Larry Page: Steve Jobs is ‘rewriting history’ by saying Android came after the iPhone
Steve Jobs might have thought he was lightly playing down reports that the Apple / Google rivalry had dramatically changed when he said " they decided to compete with us -- we didn't go into the search business" at D8 , but it appears that his phrasing didn't sit so well with Larry Page, who told Reuters yesterday that Jobs was doing a "little bit of rewriting history," and that the "characterization of us entering [the phone market] after is not really reasonable." Page, who was being interviewed alongside Eric Schmidt, also said that Google had been working on Android for "a very long time" and that the goal was always to develop phones with solid browsers to fill a market void.
