NOT CONTENT WITH Android, Symbian and the Iphone, Samsung has decided that it needs to introduce a new smartphone platform to the mobile market.
Originally unveiled a few weeks ago, “bada” was officially launched by Samsung today, with some details provided about the hardware, interface, development environment and partners, although the first phones won’t be available until the middle of next year.
Bada means “ocean” in Korean and is pronounced ba-da.

In this posting, we’ll explain the important architectural features you will need to know to get the most out of bada,” a recent post on the bada website states.
