Plz don do this to me


bada (pronounced /ˈbɑːdɑː/) :-It is a mobile
operating system being developed by Samsung
Electronics
It is designed to cover the range from lower-end feature
phones to high-end smart phones. Samsung claims that
bada will rapidly replace its proprietary feature phone
platform, converting feature phones to smartphones.The
name 'bada' is derived from 바다 , the Korean word
which means ocean or sea.
History
Samsung announced the bada platform on November 10, 2009.
After the launch, companies such as Twitter, EA, Capcom,
Gameloft, and Blockbuster showed their support for the bada
platform. After the announcement, the Wave S8500 was first
shown at Mobile World Congress 2010 in Barcelona
(Catalonia-Spain) in Feb 2010.
At that time tens of applications running on the first bada
phone were demonstrated such as Asphalt 5 by Gameloft.[5]

In May 2010 Samsung released a beta of their software development kit (SDK)
for bada to attract developers. In addition, Samsung started the bada Developer
Challenge with a total prize of $2,700,000 (USD). In August 2010 Samsung
released version 1.0 of the SDK.
The Samsung S8500 Wave was launched with version
1.0 of the bada operating system.
Soon after the launch, Samsung released version
1.0.2 with minor fixes for European users.
The latest version 1.2 was released with the Samsung
S8530 Wave II phone.
RecentDevelopment:
The alpha-version of bada 2.0 was
introduced on February 15, 2011.
Samsung Apps
With the release of the Samsung Wave, Samsung
opened an international application store, Samsung
Apps, for the bada platform.
In July 2010, Samsung Apps had 300 applications to
offer, 70% of them being free. Acording to Samsung
at the end of 2010,7000 applications present in its
application store .
Architecture
bada, as Samsung defines it, is not an operating system itself, but a
platform with a kernel configurable architecture, which allows the use of
either a proprietary real-time operating system (RTOS) kernel, or the Linux
kernel.

On top of the kernel, there are Device, Service, and Framework Layers
respectively. The Device Layer provides core functions such as graphics,
protocols, telephony, security, etc.
The Service Layer provides more service-centric features such as SNS,
mapping, in-app-purchasing, and so on. To provide such features there is a
so-called bada Server. The top layer, the Framework Layer, provides an
application programming interface (API) in C++ for application developers to
use.
it has a web browser control based on the open-
source WebKit, and also features Adobe Flash,
supporting Flash 9. Both WebKit and Flash can be
embedded inside native bada applications. bada
offers interactive mapping with Point of interest
(POI) features, which can also be embedded
inside native applications.[13] It supports pinch-to-
zoom, tabbed browsing, and cut, copy, and paste.
bada supports various mechanisms to enhance
interaction: various sensors, such as motion sensing,
vibration control, face detection, accelerometer,
magnetometer, tilt, and GPS, which can be incorporated
into applications.[1] Multipoint-touch is also supported.
Devices
Samsung's first phone running the bada platform was shown at
the Mobile World Congress 2010: the Wave S8500.
The Wave is a slim touchscreen phone powered by Samsung's
"Hummingbird" CPU (S5PC110), which includes a 1 GHz
ARM Cortex-A8 CPU and a built-in PowerVR SGX 3D
graphics engine, "Super AMOLED" screen and 720p high-def
video capabilities. The S8500 is, however, as of now, a defunct
model. The Samsung S8530 Wave II was made available in
November 2010. It has a 3.7" Super Clear capacitive LCD
touchscreen.
The Samsung S8530 Wave II was made available from November 2010. It has a 3.7"
Super Clear capacitive LCD touchscreen. It will be preloaded with the latest unreleased
bada 1.2.
Criticis
m

Some publications have criticised bada over the following issues:


The external sensor API is not open-ended, preventing new types of
sensors or unexpected technology developments from being added in the
future.
"Due to performance and privacy issues" bada applications cannot access
the SMS/MMS inbox or receive incoming SMS/MMS notifications. [
The bada application framework only allows one bada application to run at
a time. Multitasking applications is possible between the native applications
and one bada application.
Android vs Bada
1. Customization and Interface

about widgets, icons, contacts, wallpaper, etc. Both the Android platform and Bada
platform are very good as delivering a huge customizable interface for users. Bada
is very flashy and utilizes Samsung’s TouchWiz interface. This allows for widgets
like calendar, weather, and social networking to be right there in front of you. You
can drag and drop things anywhere you like on your 3 home screens.

Winner: Bada OS
Reason: Bada is customizable and takes the best of the best in terms of features and
puts it on display in a very user friendly way without making it bland!
This is where Android lacks but not by much. The stock Android music player in
my opinion is the worst music player found on any smartphone. It is ugly, very weird
to use, and I have had problems with music tags being messed up by Android.
Bada however, all I have to say is wow! The music player on the Wave is very easy,
full of features, and just a great joy to use. The sound quality is great as well. The part
of the multimedia experiences that seals the deal for me is viewing videos on a
SuperAMOLED display. Videos look absolutely stunning…that is all I have to say
about that really. What else can I say? Go view a video on a SuperAMOLED display
and tell me what else there is to say except, WOW! Bada also offers apps in the app
store to enhance your multimedia experience like Android.

Winner: Bada OS
Reason: Easy to use music player and SAMOLED screen for videos is out of this world.
Simple as that!
CONCLUSION
Winner: Bada OS!!
Bada has a motto which is, “Smartphones for everyone” and after seeing the ease of
use, customization, multimedia features, and developer support…I have to say they are
a strong competitor to Android and the other OS’s! Remember, Android started with
one app and one phone not too long ago so give it a chance. Bada takes some features
from all the popular OS’s and combines them into a feature packed and well designed
package. Granted the OS still needs some polish, remember that it is version 1! Bada is
here to stay and a great option for those who are just starting out on a smartphone or
have been a power user for years. Bada is stable, fast, easy, stunning, and feature rich!
The decision is still up to you so will you “catch the Wave” with Bada?? Or will you
join the “Android Army”??
