What Bada’s merge with Tizen could mean for developers

One of the great things regarding bada has always been the loyal following it has gotten from developers. Over the past few years, there have been some very nice applications developed for the OS and countless contests have created a lot of developer awareness. Now that Samsung has plans of merging bada with Intel’s Tizen project, what does this mean for developers?

We do know that Tizen will most likely be able to run apps written with bada’s SDK. Both Tizen and bada have similar API’s and SDK’s with them and that is good news for developers. If you know how to develop for bada, then Tizen will be no different.

Developers are going to have a wide-range of device to develop for. We think that Tizen will not only be used for smartphones but also smart TV’s, tablets, netbooks, and other information devices found in vehicles. Again, this is speculation but we have heard that the merger is going to provide a lot of flexibility regarding device.

All in all, I think the merger is going to be smooth and won’t cause too much trouble for the developers amoung us. Speaking of the talk regarding bada and Tizen….how do you feel about it? Do you like the merger? Are you unsure? Leave a comment below…
