Since it looks like there is nothing new or innovative with Bada, it's more like "an ocean of endless mundane mediocrity"

Sammy is known for "World's first this, first that" but Bada is definitely not the "first"

I think Bada/app store will only succeed in the Korean market.]]>Dec 9th 2009 11:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/samsung-teases-bada-at-event-questions-still-outnumber-answers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/samsung-teases-bada-at-event-questions-still-outnumber-answers/

So only one 3rd party application can run at a time, if another is launched the other is terminated by the platform.

Really bad design decision... ]]>Dec 8th 2009 7:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/samsung-teases-bada-at-event-questions-still-outnumber-answers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/samsung-teases-bada-at-event-questions-still-outnumber-answers/That depends on the kind of apps they're trying to encourage: high-performance games are a lot easier to write (and support) if you know they're going to be the only things running on the target device. Also, multi-tasking of 3rd party apps inevitably means a more complicated UI experience.

I hope it's awesome, especially since there's an emphasis on gaming (N-Gage RIP), but it's Samsung.

Ignore the blank post, I'm an idiot apparently.

I'm quite saddened to hear that Verizon has decided that FORCING a data plan on you is a good idea. The whole point of having a WiFi enabled handset is to make use of freely available WiFi. I wouldn't be pulling in massive amounts of 3G data, in fact, I have it disabled on my life for exactly this reason.

Oh well, hopefully they'll wise up and loosen the restriction.]]>Dec 8th 2009 9:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/samsung-teases-bada-at-event-questions-still-outnumber-answers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/samsung-teases-bada-at-event-questions-still-outnumber-answers/

However, I am up for contract renewal and if I can save myself 300$ or so by getting one on contract....

I may wait until Samsung drops a Bada handset for ATT and see what it is like.

SHP is quiet a stunted OS compared to Linux, WinCE and iPhone OS, when it comes to the basics - incidentally SHP does not support multi-threading and many other features developers have come to love and depend upon over the years.

Samsung has never known to be good at software, Competing against Linux, Windows and Mac which have been maturing for the last decade or more is a daunting task.

I hope their SDK delivers all that they promise or it will just be so much wasted time and effort.
