Bada to Become Landmark Fantasy Platform?

What’s the Deal?
Today marks history. The dropping of Symbian from the Samsung Empire in the coming year is a bold move that has Samsung operators and developers up in the clouds. The OS, called Bada which is Korean for “ocean”, will not be an OS per se, but it will get a free ride atop of Samsung’s proprietary software. The new addition will be officially announced in December and the SDK will also be available, at the same time, to developers who may want it. Hosoo Lee, Executive Vice President and Head of Media Solution Center at Samsung Electronics says in a prepared statement to the press-

“Bada will be Samsung’s landmark, iconic new platform that brings an unprecedented opportunity for operators, developers and Samsung mobile phone users around the world.”

Why does Samsung think the world needs another Mobile OS?
“But Mommy,“ Samsung whines childishly, “Every one else has one, I want one too!”
That’s why, according to PC World. Because everyone else has their own and they have enough money to do it with. They also say that the OS will get little or no developer support and it won’t be worth the try.

So What’s the Verdict?
I say good for Samsung! I think it’s about time they get in on the act. Being as they are in the top 5 of the Smartphone club, they should have their own OS. It’s fitting, I think. And maybe it will even offer up enough competition to bring down prices of the others. Don’t get me wrong, I love Symbian and am all for the Open Source thing, but Samsung , I think, will have a chance with this. Now…If we could only get Symbian to manufacture their own actual handsets…
