>> Samsung clearly do not share that opinion, and justifiably so. And Samsung would be wrong.If Google hasn't decide to add Samsung to android, it's very likely that Samsung would be in somewhat similar fate to that of microsoft. But Google did share it with them , and they did make lots of money, and probably still do. Sure they would want more, and more control, etc. And android is a tough business. But still Open Android was a great thing for Samsung. As for Apple behaving better towards their partners - it's hard to tell , because they target a different customer segment than android so the dynamic is different. But if you look at every big company - MS, Amazon, Wireless carriers - commoditizing a complement is a very common technique.
