Re: LQD: Krugman finds an elephant in the room (4.00 / 2)

It's still the gold rush. Google also doesn't have iPod Touch and iPad competitors. And a lot of their phones are little cheapy ones that technically run Android but are really just replacements for the old Nokia cheapy phones (and can't really do anything).

I think what you're going to wind up with in the end is Apple, Google and a large group of "Other" that will include HP, "Microkia" (which I'm looking forward to the most for comedic value), and RIM.

Google will likely be largest in volume, Apple will make the most money, and the others will putz along.

Samsung will be a major player (none / 0)

Perhaps a dominant one. They are pretty clever.

I don't think Samsung is going anywhere with Bada. Didn't they already put out the Wave? And didn't it bomb? The Galaxy Tab also seems to have tanked.

Their resources are spread between Android, Bada and WP7. Even assuming away WP7, since Microsoft will probably focus on Nokia, they're still spread between Bada and Android, and it seems clear that Android phones are the better-selling ones. Trying to support two completely different OSes hasn't worked very well in the cases I'm aware of (Palm jumps to mind).
