@zap2 IMHO Bada is nothing more than a clone of Symbian. The UI looks almost exactly the same as S60v5. There IS a public SDK and there are developer forums and tools, etc. on Samsung's innovator website. Whether or not this OS will take off -- don't know, but my own instincts tell me that it will fail hard. BTW it is an OS; it's linux based. It's not a layer or anything like that; and it's supposedly owned and created by Samsung.
@zap2 It means that Bada is likely running on top of Nucleos RTOS like many other Samsung/LG featurephones. Bada then is an API/toolkit that expands upon the reliability of Nucleos and enables it to be more powerful.
That is how I understand it, and how it makes most sense. Samsung have a LOT of experience with Nucleos RTOS and I'd be surprised if Bada is not based upon/running over Nucleos.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
I'd be a little more excited if I knew what Bada was.
Samsung announced it, but then was like "well its not a smartphone OS, its like an extra layer"
What does that mean?
