Samsung bada is a brand new smartphone-style skin just announced by the South Korean giant for its phones. It’s coming next year, with a brand new UI for Sammy handsets, and web connected apps you’d expect on an expensive smartphone. Read on for the skinny!
As if there weren’t enough mobile platforms to be app crafting for already, Samsung bada will arrive next year across a host of models. The official site only briefly explains how it’ll work, but the few snippets of solid info it gleams reveal that it should allow for clever widgets that deliver “smartphone experiences” to everyone, and will offer an SDK for developers to take advantage of.
It looks like Samsung is restarting its whole “Smarter than Smart” marketing ploy it used for the versatile but decidedly non-smartphone Samsung Jet back in the Summer, and this time wants to get other cheap phones in on the action too with plenty of realtime data sucking apps.
