LG now not interested by proprietary smartphone OS, likes Android plus Windows Phone 7

LG has got told the legal press at MWC which it could be enough to now not be developing its own smartphone platform "at least for the subsequent two to three years." We tend to be expecting companies ought to focal point though to what they have a tendency to be doing smartly, plus provided with our ambivalence toward the S-Class UI, it has probably a great factor that LG will slender its operation all the way down to churning out delectable slabs up of electronics and coming out of the software aspect to the geeks over at Google and Microsoft. The apex of the company's handset unit, Skott Ahn, has indicated that the way forward for LG smartphones are going to be shared between Android and Windows Phone 7 (sorry, Symbian lovers). It will be afflicted by taken dozens of restraint not to respond to native nemesis Samsung -- who has simply introduced its first Bada handset -- less than LG appears to be of the opinion (which we share) that the smartphone OS sector is already overcrowded, and its expectation is that over the next pair of years the market will distill itself down to merely three predominant operating systems.
