But when companies overextend themselves to new OS's rather than embracing widely used ones, it tales away from the unification of OS's. It' a weird balance scale.

Yes we want lots of companies and mobile operating systems but we want cross platform/hardware services and OS's that extend as far as possible... that's why Windows is so powerful. At the same time, I prefer Mac so go figure, maybe you're right.

If there were 20 different computer OS's though, imagine how crazy that would be!]]>Dec 17th 2009 8:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/samsung-bada-ui-unveiled-in-beautiful-stills-reason-for-existin/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/samsung-bada-ui-unveiled-in-beautiful-stills-reason-for-existin/Competition isn't always nice.

Ooooh, another OS. It's just what everyone is asking for. I'm sure this one is a lot better than the rest of the bunch. If you swipe your fingers just right, you can almost see into the future. Social integration... that's never been done before. Bring it on.]]>Dec 18th 2009 12:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/samsung-bada-ui-unveiled-in-beautiful-stills-reason-for-existin/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/samsung-bada-ui-unveiled-in-beautiful-stills-reason-for-existin/You say yet another like there's so many of them...

Right now we only have -realistically speaking- one promising OS out that works on various phones - Android. (WM and Symbian need to get it together.) Maemo is still about as widespread as Bada right now.
OS's that work on one hardware only (iPhone, Palm..) are not that relevant here, because if you don't like the specific hardware (or the company policy) you won't consider them. Therefore the iPhone and the Pre etc. OS's have a limited number of potential users (which is still relatively high, but limited).

So if you don't like going with Android it's either Maemo (which frankly I don't even know if it's meant for 'regular' phones) or you come up with something new. Samsung is big enough to easily compete if they come up with a good OS. They have good hardware, the phones are well built for the price, they have the best cameras on the phones. The only thing they were lacking is good software. Bada could be the solution.]]>Dec 18th 2009 4:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/samsung-bada-ui-unveiled-in-beautiful-stills-reason-for-existin/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/samsung-bada-ui-unveiled-in-beautiful-stills-reason-for-existin/http://www.operating-system.org/betriebssystem/_english/os-liste.htm]]>Dec 18th 2009 7:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/samsung-bada-ui-unveiled-in-beautiful-stills-reason-for-existin/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/samsung-bada-ui-unveiled-in-beautiful-stills-reason-for-existin/You are EXACTLY right...this is their featurephone OS with a few added things...it was always linux based, they just created an SDK, added a few more apps.

i was thinking the same. the first thing i thought when i saw the pictures were, "this looks like an Android, Symbian, webOS, Mobile OSX mashup". they definitely have some pretty recognizable influences. not really a bad thing i guess but if it takes off, i'm sure these other companies will cry foul.]]>Dec 18th 2009 12:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/samsung-bada-ui-unveiled-in-beautiful-stills-reason-for-existin/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/samsung-bada-ui-unveiled-in-beautiful-stills-reason-for-existin/Dec 17th 2009 7:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/samsung-bada-ui-unveiled-in-beautiful-stills-reason-for-existin/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/samsung-bada-ui-unveiled-in-beautiful-stills-reason-for-existin/Dec 17th 2009 7:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/samsung-bada-ui-unveiled-in-beautiful-stills-reason-for-existin/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/samsung-bada-ui-unveiled-in-beautiful-stills-reason-for-existin/Dec 17th 2009 7:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/samsung-bada-ui-unveiled-in-beautiful-stills-reason-for-existin/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/samsung-bada-ui-unveiled-in-beautiful-stills-reason-for-existin/Dec 17th 2009 7:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/samsung-bada-ui-unveiled-in-beautiful-stills-reason-for-existin/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/samsung-bada-ui-unveiled-in-beautiful-stills-reason-for-existin/
Me - I would rather have more competition. Competition breeds innovation.

Yeah, but the possibilities of customization are what makes android great. Don't like the way your android UI looks, then change it. I also have to say that while competition is usually good, in instances like this, it actually hurts the consumer. A highly fractured market sees fewer developers, as well as fewer supported accessories for each segment. Give us 3 or 4 major players to drive innovation, and let the rest fade away. ]]>Dec 17th 2009 10:19PM
