bada 2.0 to launch officially in September

April 16th, 2011 Dane

While we have been hearing many different reports surrounding the launch of bada 2.0, including one in July, it appears that it will be launching officially in September and this is according to the OFFICIAL bada twitter page @samsungbada. If you have the original Wave S8500, Wave II S8530, or the Wave 723, you can expect the upgrade to 2.0.

Another surprise is that Samsung is now considering a 2.0 upgrade for 2G devices that include the 525, 533, and 575. Originally, it was believed by many that Samsung would not push an update for the 2G devices but this is good news if you own one of those models.

Samsung India: “bada 2.0 to arrive around July”

April 8th, 2011 Dane

According to the R&D head at Samsung India, Samsun is to release bada 2.0 “around July of this year”. This is great news for those wondering what has happened to the OS since it was unveild at MWC a few months back.

They also went on to discuss the future plans for bada a bit in an interview with the Financial Express:

“Bada, meaning ocean in Korean, is a driving force in accomplishing Samsung’s vision of a smartphone for everyone.

While that quote does not say much about the upcoming devices for the bada platform, we do know that 2.0 is a major upgrade and should make bada an even better alternative to some of the bigger name OS’s out on the market today.

What are some of your thoughts on the future of bada? Will we see a phone with a 4″ screen? A tablet? Use your imagination…what do you want to see? Discuss it here in our forums or leave a comment below.
