Korea's Samsung said it has slated the debut of its Android-based Smartphone in Europe for June 2009, with two more models to follow in the United States this year, according to an April 2 report by Forbes. Although Samsung's collaborative operator in the European market is yet unknown, the company is expected to enter partnership with T-Mobile and Sprint Nextel, two other members of the Open Handset Alliance, for the rollout of its Android devices in the US market. No details regarding the design and form factor of Samsung's Android Smartphone have emerged yet, but Samsung said its Android phone will feature the company's customized features rather than simply a Google Experience device integrated with various Google applications. Other mobile phone vendors expected to tap the Android platform in 2009 include HTC, Asus-Garmin, Motorola, and Sony Ericsson. Meanwhile, in addition to its plan for Android-based devices, Samsung is also engaged in the development of mobile phones leveraging LiMO Foundation's Linux-based software platform. Samsung is expected to launch several LiMo-based phones in the third quarter of 2009, according to the Forbes report.
