The Wall Street Journal reports that Samsung plans to open-source its own Bada mobile phone OS and platform next year. Google's Android is also open-source, and Symbian was similarly open-sourced in 2008. The move will make the underlying software code available to developers to modify, improve, and use for their own projects. Samsung also hopes to make Bada a standard platform for smart TVs, in addition to phones.

Why?
Why another mobile OS when they are already enjoying success with Andriod and WP7? Why not continue to work on those? I'm not saying there isn't room for more OS's but at the same time, it becomes pointless or at least in my opinion to have multiple OS's for the same products.
Having owned products myself with iOS, Andriod and Windows. I know personally I would prefer one universal program than multiple programs on multiple devices. I might not be the average consumer as I take the time to learn and understand the differences in the different OS's. It's just I rather not have to learn a whole new system that could end up going the way WebOS has.
If anything, it would have been better if Samsung, HTC, LG or IBM bought WebOS than askin...
