It's so weird to read this and see Microsoft touting the success of Android like, "Consider this: when Samsung entered into the agreement in 2011, it shipped 82 million Android smartphones. Just three years later, it shipped 314 million Android smartphones ... becoming the leading player in the worldwide smartphone market" I'm sure the marketing folks at MS are wincing when they read that.
I wonder what is Samsung's reasoning for breaking the agreement? Was there some kind of clause that MS wouldn't build Android devices to directly compete, and with the Nokia purchase the plans for a Nokia Android device (that were just swiftly stopped after the acquisition was finalized) might have given Samsung an out?
