Doubt that'll ever happen. They got their own OS and got too much pride to be using any OS other than their own. By the way, Symbian > *

Samsung Inflates Galaxy Tab Sales, Gets Busted

After claiming to have sold two million Galaxy Tabs,
Samsung has been forced to admit that the number was exaggerated. A
financial analyst pressed a Samsung executive on the numbers during an
earnings call, finally eliciting the acknowledgement that the number
represented how many supposed "iPad-killers" were sold to carriers and
other resellers, not to actual users. The exec declined to provide hard
numbers, but insisted that sales to real people were "quite OK."
Meanwhile, a study has shown that many of the people who did buy Galaxy
Tabs aren't happy with them: they are apparently being returned at a
rate eight times higher than the iPad's.
In early December, Samsung announced it had sold a million Galaxy Tabs,
and bragged that sales were going "faster than expected." Then, in early
January, Samsung announced sales had reached two million. This set off a predictable round of crowing
from journalists and observers who all but declared the iPad dead. One
analyst predicted that Apple will "have less than 50 percent of the
global tablet market" two years from now. "I think that's a certainty,"
said Neil Mawston, director at Strategy Analytics. His firm published a report that gave Android tablets a quarter of the market in the fourth quarter of 2010, based on the reported Galaxy Tab sales.
Then came Samsung's quarterly earnings call on Friday, and Android
fanbois sensed a great disturbance in the force... as if millions of
voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.
Samsung executive Lee Young-hee said the 2 million represented what she
called "sell-in:" sales to distributors and wireless carriers, which she
said "was quite aggressive." The "sell-out" - distributors' sales to
consumers - she said, "wasn't as fast as we expected" because "it was
required to have consumers invest in the device." (wow, really?)
Nevertheless, Ms. Lee insisted that "we also believe [the "sell-out] was
quite smooth," but refused to give any specific totals, saying that
"the tablet is relatively new and we need to see how the market develops
before we give any firm numbers."
It seems obvious that those numbers are not that impressive, or one
would think that Samsung would rush to publicize them as loudly as they
had the original misleading report. The problem may actually be worse
than that, though: ITG Investment Research says people are returning their Galaxy Tabs
at an abnormally high rate. Crunching numbers from nearly 6,000
wireless stores in the US, ITG found that as many as 16% of all Galaxy
Tabs sold from when the device first went on sale in November through
January 15th were returned. The Wall Street Journal notes that he return rate for the iPad at Verizon since its debut on the carrier is just 2 percent.

Seems like you can find Android on half a billion devices these days, so sure it might very well be the bigger mobile OS...that doesn't make it better.
