MrSeb writes: "Samsung must now pay Microsoft a royalty for every Android device it sells — but in other news, announced yesterday, Samsung is now the co-founder (with Intel) of the Tizen project, an open source, Meego-derived Linux-based smartphone and tablet OS.

Did Samsung agree to pay a royalty to Microsoft purely because it has an exit strategy already lined up?"
