While Samsung went ahead with its own smartphone Operating System - the Bada, LG doesn't seem interested in developing one on its own and seems content with the support it receives from Android and Windows Mobile.

At the just-concluded Mobile World Congress at Barcelona, LG's head of handset unit, Skott Ahn has reaffirmed that LG doesn't see itself venturing into the mobile OS designing segment - not at least in the next few years. The company is in fact quite happy to make devices that are compliant with major smartphone Operating Systems and leaving the OS part to be taken care of by the experts. LG believes that it doesn't need to dedicate resources in making an entirely new OS as established and well-equipped players already exist.

The company also feels there isn't much room for any new OS in the overcrowded smartphone OS segment which is currently dominated by Symbian, Windows Mobile, Android, iPhone OS and Blackberry. In fact, it believes that in the near future, only three OS'es will survive and remain popular. We bet that sure included the Windows Phone 7 Series.
