South Korea brings the large guns to the mobile OS knife fight

Publicly, Samsung and LG tersely supported Google’s union with Motorola (which we’ve taken to calling Moogle) — privately apparently the South Korean giants aren’t as thrilled to be on the mercy of Mountain View’s whim. Imagine their predicament in the event that they were frozen out of Android tomorrow — that is why the Korean government has stepped in to create its own OS. Kim Jae-hong, deputy minister from Seoul’s Ministry of data Economy, thinks that American dominance in mobile software is mostly a foul thing. The minister said that the rustic would “foster a habitat” for the open-source OS, which may mean incentivized pricing on these devices, and we’re hearing a cloud-based Chrome OS can be within the offing. The largest news Jae-hong slipped is that Samsung have been very dismissive of a Korean OS until it heard in regards to the Google / Motorola deal. What a difference a Moogle makes, eh?
