Gizmodo has posted a Samsung-issued press release describing their intention to make the Windows Phone 7 platform a "key component of the Samsung smartphone portfolio". They highlight their long-standing commitment to the new platform, and reveal that several phones will be released in Europe, the US, and Asia in 2010.</p><p>It's been hard not to miss the big play Samsung has made in the last few months with their Android-based phones and their upcoming tablet. Perhaps this is the start of a build up to more visible support for Windows Phone 7. If we see three or more phones before the end of the year, that is indeed a significant start.</p>
