Samsung Focusing On Phone Software 124

itwbennett writes "With the much-acclaimed Galaxy SIII in its pocket, don't think that Samsung is looking at Amazon's success with the Kindle and Apple's success with its iOS devices and saying to themselves, 'No, we'd rather not have that kind of diverse revenue, we'll stick to razor-thin hardware margins,' writes blogger Kevin Purdy. And that's not the only reason that Samsung might decide the time is right to maintain its own OS, or at least an Android fork: There's also the looming spectre of Google-Motorola."

    They should do a deal with Microsoft. Then they could have Badabing.

    They already screw up Android enough as well.

    Semi-related comment from the kernel source of my phone: /*This is a temporary piece of crappy code that I was forced to write as I did not figure
    out how to properly use the SPI driver in the system. Please resist the temptation of ever using
    this code in a good Samsung phone. I will remove this code as soon as I figure out the correct
    way of using the SPI driver*/

    (That code actually works correctly though, unlike some of the other stuff)

Old programmers never die, they just hit account block limit.

Working...
