Did these two companies left their xperia T and Lumia 920 without price just to wait for the announcement of Apple for the price for the iPhone 5 tomorrow?
Are they playing the 'name your price first then I beat yours' game?
Let us see if that is the case.
If it is so, it is a good strategy too, in the price point perspective and is beneficial to the consumers.
What you think?

Opensourced project during tough economic times?
Everyone agrees that the open source project is such a good one and noble intention of providing the free software that everybody can use. Linux, Mozilla, and even the Wikipedia are open source and runs thru the donations. What happens when the time is tough? This is also a common problem on charitable organizations (like World Villages for Children). How will they survive during those time?
When times are good, the donation pours, because almost every person has something to spare. But inversely when the time is tough and when it is mostly needed too. So how can we solve this dilemma?
One thing for sure is to save for the rainy days. Put some aside for the rainy days. If the donations are at surplus during the good times, save some for the tough times. These are the old wisdom that is barely practiced now because of the accounting and the expansion of the projects that is necessary. How can you balance the expansion and the ‘saving for the rainy day’?

Android Fork
Amazon forked Android to better fit their needs for the OS. The new Kindle Fire HD proves to be a better fork of it. Customizing the OpenSource to fit their specific needs is the new trend right now.
Will Samsung take it and run also with their version of the forked OS?
If it will be the case, it will be like the OSes that forked in the desktop environment. Remember OpenSuse Linux? Those BSDs, and other Unix like systems? Where are they now?
They are not on the mainstreams of the computing world. Most of us still uses Windows OSes.
Will the fate of the desktop environment in this aspect will happen again in the mobile world?
I think three or four OSes is enough for people to chose from - Namely iOS, Windows, and one of the forked Android OS that will prevail all the Android ecosystem. I'll bet for the Samsung (if they fork it) and the Amazon Android forked OS (2aOS)
