Yesterday we reported that handset manufacturer Samsung was dropping Symbian OS support and moving fully to WinMo, Android and Bada, their new proprietary smartphone OS.
Today, Samsung has refuted that claim, saying the original rumor, which quoted senior vice president Don Joo Lee, "is not it line with Samsung's smartphone strategy."
Samsung also gave the following quote: "Samsung is an initial member of Symbian Foundation and continues to cooperate with Symbian Foundation. At the same time, Samsung supports various existing open operating systems including Symbian, Linux, Android, and Windows Mobile. To provide more choices to meet consumers' many different tastes and preferences, we will continue our 'multi-OS' strategy. Our policy is to provide what consumers want when they need."
