I'm seriously thinking now; had Samsung control of Qt and the Moblin core (basically MeeGo), they would've bought Palm for $1.5B in a heartbeat.

Combining the patents, designers, developers, and contracts from Palm... to the sweet base Intel was working on... to the awesome ecosystem Qt can provide, Samsung would've cooked it up like a Master Chef.

(Big) Bada (Boom)... would be just their dropped development. They would've built a tablet OS which would easily surpass HC3.2 and later tone it down to a smartphone OS which would be quite the beast. Even later, they would buy Alien Dalvik/Myriad/whatever and have "MeeGo" support Android applications but emphasize developers for Qt.

Why?
Cause Samsung has cojones!
