So far they're strategy is to sell Android Smartphones and Bada Feature-Phones. They've got their fingers also dipped into Symbian (dumbphones), Windows Mobile (feature phones), and Windows Phone 7 (as a me-too alternative).
As I said, hedging their bets. I think your question is a valid one regarding why Meego if WebOS is a no, no for Samsung. Perhaps the connection to Intel? What other reasons could there be? The Linux kernel? Open source development?

PS. I hadn't seen Helmuths post before I replied DS.
