Samsung to launch bada 2.0 operating system

Looks like India is going to be the first to receive
Samsung’s updated bada 2.0 operating system, in
July, according to a report. Speaking to the Financial
Express, Samsung India executive Dipesh Shah
stated that Samsung intends to hit 30% of the
smartphone market share in India by 2011, more than
twice their 2010 ’s closing figures.
The Samsung Wave and its many variants have been
popular in India, and according to Samsung India,
these bada handsets have been doing almost as well
as its Android devices in the country – perhaps the
biggest reason for launching it in India first, apart from
the strong bada developer presence here.
The update will bring the version from bada 1.2 to
bada 2.0, and will deliver a new UI, SDK support for
Linux and Mac, third party SNS integration, HTML5
support, WAC compatibility, and FlashLite. Features
like operator billing support are also expected.
