Dane Samsung has announced the release of bada SDK 2.0.0b1 which is currently in a closed beta program. According to Samsung,
“Samsung bada 2.0 is a new and improved version and a major milestone in realizing the vision of a ‘Smartphone for Everyone’.
This is good news because it means a final SDK is right around the corner…however the bad news is – right now, Samsung has closed all invitations for the SDK. If you want to keep on the lookout for future updates regarding more invitations to the closed beta testing, just signup for the Samsung Developer newsletter via email.

Dane Its been awhile since Samsung has said anything about bada but if you remember, back in April, 3 bada powered devices leaked out onto the internet and one of them did not have a name. Well thanks to the bada 2.0 SDK by bada world, the name of said device is the Samsung Wave 725 and the specs are pretty nice indeed!
Some of the major specs include a 3.65″ HVGA screen (320×480 pixels), 5-mp shooter, VGA front facing camera for video calling, NFC, WiFi, Bluetooth 3.0 and….wait for it….bada 2.0 installed! With 2.0 being installed on the device, it will bring much needed features like multitasking, a better UI, smoother interface, better security, and so much more!
There is also a lot of talk about the Samsung Wave 725 being the first bada-powered device to be released in the United States as well as overseas. According to Samung, bada has been doing very well overseas so hopefully America will embrace it.
Samsung plans to release this phone to the world in December.. September of this year (2011).

Dane A feature that bada users have been wanting for a long time is finally heading to the OS in version 2.0. It seems that the ‘Smart Homescreens’ Samsung has been mentioning will be like the Live Wallpapers found on the Android OS…in fact, that is probably exactly what it will be. This could be a very interesting thing for bada because as it stands right now on Android, live wallpaper is pretty much a gimmick. It looks cool at first but it does drain your battery and serves almost no purpose. Samsung can really turn some heads with their ‘Smart Wallpaper’ idea if they can breathe some functionality into the live wallpapers and give developers an open shot at using it in their apps. I am excited to see what Samsung has planned for their ‘Smart Homescreen’ feature but I am sure it will be a lot more useful than just a moving background!
