Samsung confirms it will drop Symbian this year

Samsung had already dropped strong hints that it would not support Symbian in this smartphone generation, and now it has confirmed the news, hard on the heels of a similar announcement from Sony Ericsson, and in the same week that the Korean giant said it would launch Windows Phone 7 handsets before year end.
Like compatriot LG, Samsung will now focus its nascent smartphone efforts on Android and WP7, leaving Nokia (and the Japanese vendors) as the supporters of the reworked and open source Symbian^3. Samsung is also investing heavily in its homegrown platform, bada.
