So, now that we now Samsung is somewhat dominant in the Android space we get an explanation that the reason Nokia went with WP was that Samsung would be a dominant player in the Android space.

I guess I would have been kinda impressed if they actually gave this as the reason two years ago.

This is the second time this particular excuse has been trotted out. It didn't work the first time, either.
