LATEST NEWS and also a BAD news to all the Wave users around the world....
April 1, 2011 - Seoul, South Korea: In a major development in smartphone OS wars, Samsung Electronics has announced that they will discontinue the development of bada . The decision was collectively taken by the board of directors and the CEO of Samsung Electronics.
The bada OS was first shipped with Wave, a highly popular phone. Bada OS is estimated to have atleast a five million users base. The reasons cited by Samsung for this abandoning are poor sales of Wave II, lack of software and developer base and support, lack of worldwide acknowledgment of bada inspite of positive reviews. The ceo has stated that it is unwise to fight in three OS fronts.
Samsung says that it will release a final version of bada which is bada 1.5 (seems like no bada 2.0) which fixed most bugs and includes features like skype, fringe, new Facebook and twitter versions, and other such minor changes. There will be no more of bada versions and phones thereafter.
Inorder to prevent backlash from wave community and potential future customers, Samsung says that they are working on an official android 2.3.2 gingerbread port for all wave users. It is expected to be out in Q3 2011. Once available current wave users would have the choice to continue using bada or move to android in their wave.
