Typo?

"...including Samsung phones running the company's own Bada operating system of Google's Android OS..."

This implies that Bada is based on Andriod. Is this the case, or was this meant to read "Bada OR Android" devices will both come with Yahoo?

its funny in a sort of Yahoo riding on Google's hard work kind of way.
