Samsung eyes bada 2.0 release in H1 2011, improved UI and NFC support coming
commentsPosted on 21 December 2010 by bada
Samsung’s own take on operating systems, the bada OS, will get a lot of new features in its upcoming 2.0 version, which is set for release in the first half of 2011. Sammy promises an improved user interface along with Near-Field Communication (NFC) support and SDK support for Linux and Mac.
As you have probably heard, NFC provides safe transactions including mobile phone payments and support for it is a welcome addition to the OS. The recently launched Google Nexus S heralds the technology’s launch in the United States and we expect to hear much more about it next year.

The bada OS made its debut on the Samsung Wave, the first device to showcase the Super AMOLED technology. And while there weren’t many devices following, the operating system is growing steadily and Samsung expects to sell 10 million handsets of the Wave series by the end of the first half of 2011. Currently, sales are expected to reach nearly 5 million Wave phones by the end of 2010.
The Samsung Wave was released with the first version of bada in the summer of 2010. Currently, the OS stands at version 1.2 with some minor tweaks over the original release. Even though we find bada to be pretty responsive, it is still lagging significantly in apps and functionality in comparison to iOS and Android. Do you think that it could find its place among other operating systems out there? Let us know and check out Samsung’s expectations for bada below.

Can Samsung wave s8500 be upgraded with BADA 2.0??
@Amit
I don’t think upgrade to 2.0 for Wave I will ever be possible – it is just not in Samsung nature to provide support for older devices. They probably think users will just switch to new device
Hope I’m wrong…
samsung halfly comfirmed that i’ll come to wave and wave II
Problems must be remedied in the next update to users, not to frustrate the wave and go to the robot and away from Samsung
** Taking into account the presence of memory 16 GB
- Music Player -
1 – Add a command to delete a song while listening to her in the main
2 – When you are running all the songs at random and movement between them, and when you return to the library can not find what I listen to him now and look at them much more than 6 GB of music
- Media Browser -
1 – there should be an offer by selecting the folder
2 – There must be chosen by the display type
3 – Possibility to choose the size of the thumbnail view (they are small)
4 – When you return to the browser you should choose another media file after you delete something on the move in the media browser
5 – Add the codes video of the operation of the various formulas ( FLV – MOV – MPG )
- General -
1 – do not copy the images used as wallpaper on the phone memory and music are also used tone
2 – the possibility of working password for a folder
3 – Possibility to download maps for use with GPS for free, such as Nokia
4 – Availability of the update of the Middle East at the same time as all other States to non-discrimination
5- full support flash player 10
