Samsung to extend Bada to its “Smart TV” lineup!

It looks like Samsung sees a big future in the Bada OS not just on smartphones. According to the vice president at Samsung’s visual display division, Kyungsik Kevin Lee, ““We have a plan to have a single platform for Samsung TV and phones.” There is no word yet on when the Bada OS would be ready for Samsung’s TV lineup as developers are still working on it but it is a good that Bada is so flexible.

Samsung’s Lee also said the Korean firm expects its sales of smart TV’s (high-end TV sets) which can be used also for Internet access,  to reach around 5 million sets this year, and to more than double in 2011.

As of right now, users can purchase apps from the Samsung App store and browse the web but I am guessing that Samsung wants to add functionality to its lineup by porting the Bada OS to its lineup.

So Bada OS on your TV?! What do you think about that? Talk about it in our forums!
