They don't need to buy an operating system, because operating systems and native applications are becoming obsolete.
Everything is going web, whether people like it or not. Apple's success with IOS has tricked a lot of other companies, like Microsoft and RIM, into believing they need to compete directly on. I think Samsung is a lot smarter than people think. Really all they need is a phone with a good web browser because the underlying system is becoming only a support system to access the web.
- mmatants 15y agoIsn't WebOS basically like that already? From what I understand, it uses most of the same tooling as regular HTML apps, just with some OS hooks. But then I don't know much. If that's the case, then it's the closest to what you describe out of the mobile OSes out there.
- wavephorm 15y agoWebOS is still a native platform, you happen to build native apps using html and js. I mean native apps themselves are going to largely be phased out in the coming years. Samaung should be building something more like Google's ChromeOS.
