Samsung has announced the all new 'bada' open platform mobile operating system. Samsung's bada mobile OS will compete with the existing open platform mobile operating systems - Android and LiMO. This new open mobile OS will aid developers to developer variety of applications based on universal standards. The bada OS SDK will be made available in December.

Samsung intends to bring the smartphone experience to everyone and hence came out with bada that will also support Apps. In Korean, bada means "Ocean" name was chosen to convey the limitless variety of potential Apps that can be created on this new open platform.

The first Samsung phone running bada is expected to arrive in first half of 2010. It looks like Samsung has decided not to use Microsoft Windows Mobile OS, Symbian or even Android.

Samsung boasts of bada's "ground breaking" UI which could be transferable to the more attractive and intuitive design by the developers. The bada website states that "Samsung bada includes a next generation UI framework with feature sets and design elements that facilitate leading-edge user interfaces for every bada application." So, we can anticipate new user experience designed be Samsung mobile software development team.

Developers can developer several applications for variety of purposes with bada OS SDK. And increasing popularity of services based applications inspired Samsung to integrate support for service-oriented features in it. The ecosystem of bada will eventually commit to developers and the App store.

We'll have to wait till December to see how bada OS looks like unless screenshots and video of the same get leaked on the web.

Symbian is dying for the time being, it will come in open source form in 2011. But i am very hopeful that Samsung bada will revolutionise the OS market because Samsung has got immense potential.

to mr. modifii- Sir, symbian is not dying. Many of them are testing devices on symbian, even some of them are winmobile lovers. Since symbian was considered a Nokia proprietary platform, other players hesitated to work on symbian. Now when declared open source and program code will be published by 2010, it will be adapted by most of them after android. Alps is developing multitouch system for symbian. So........symbian is underdog currently........shouldnt be underestimated...........shouldnt be ignored..........presently underrated somehow. but it will aggressively attack back.

Dear Mr. Naveen, thats what i am saying, Symbian is not dying but preparing for fight back. I am a big fan of Symbian OS and currently using S60v5.
