Android devices are beginning to hit the cellular market at breakneck speed, with almost every major U.S. carrier now offering some form of Droid based device, minus AT&T. With that realization reports are stating that Samsung will soon heavily ditch Windows Mobile and head the way of Android.
According to Greg Noh of HMC Investment Securities, Samsung will move from producing 80% of their devices with Windows Mobile in 2009 to 50% in 2010, making room for further Google Android production.
While further reports are looking towards a 20% WinMo Samsung based operation by 2012.
Adding to Microsoft’s woes, many other manufacturers have already begun cutting their Windows Mobile offerings, even Windows Mobile champion HTC has been spotted heavily promoting their Droid based devices over Windows Mobile 6.5 offerings of the same and similar spec sets. [SlashGear]
