BADA,Two Big concerns but is that of a bother now?
Keith O’Brien,Head of Content,Samsung Mobile said that BADA on large screen is not on agenda now. Interesting comment from him considering Tablets are getting popular and is on quite on demand. But the matter of fact is that BADA was not designed to run on large screens at least as far as its architecture goes. Its similar to what happened with Android. The OS was designed for mobile phones, Precisely as a feature phone OS. While much of BADA fan section is awaiting for a tablet. It is important to know that BADA has still not evolved into smartphone OS and the sales of the Tablet loaded with BADA OS would get only a lukewarm response and that is what Samsung is trying to avoid this situation, With the introduction of KAL-El, The Tablet market will experiece a huge leap forward and with BADA 3.0 in development, May be Samsung can look into this market as well. But much of it will depend on how well BADA 2.0 fares in the market.
Dual Core Processors:
Well when dual core processors phones were launched, {Especially after the announcement of Galaxy SII} The online forums had this kind of question. “Will a BADA phone come with a dual core processor?” The buzz seems to have gone down after the launch of WAVE 3. Many fans were disappointed to see the phone not powered by dual core, Instead it came with a 1.4 Ghz processor, which according to many is more then enough for BADA. The only other major smart phone OS which runs on similar configuration is the Windows Phone 7. But it has been confirmed that Windows Phone 7 will be running in a dual core processor soon.
So I guess, Its time for Samsung to start looking into these demands seriosuly now, Especially after Keith O’Brien admitted that next year BADA will be seen in many new phones and to be precise in 17% of the Sammy’s devices in UK. And they are now looking at this OS as a major asset.
Sounds Exciting!!! Isn’t it..?
