[Announcements] Posted Nov 10, 2009 16:49 UTC (Tue) by corbet

Samsung, evidently feeling that there are not enough Linux-based phone platforms out there, has announced the existence of its "bada" system. "The name 'bada', which means 'ocean' in Korean, was chosen to convey the limitless variety of potential applications which can be created using the new platform. It also alludes to Samsung's commitment to a variety of open platforms in the mobile industry. Samsung bada also represents the fresh challenges and opportunities available to developers, as well as the entertainment which consumers will enjoy once the new platform is open." Some more information can be found on bada.com.
