Second bada developer day confirmed for UK

Samsung has confirmed its second-ever UK Bada Developer Day, which takes place this Thursday (11/3) at OXO2, South Bank, London.

‘The event will look at how apps are changing consumer behaviour and future trends that will change the mobile market,’ says Samsung, ‘as well as demonstrations of the updated bada platform and latest bada 2.0 devices, including the Wave III.’

It will also be a good time for Samsung to detail how it plans on expanding and evolving its bespoke mobile operating system going into 2012. Samsung has already confirmed the platform will be going open-source, so we’ll no doubt be hearing more details about this live from the event.

‘Attendees will receive an introduction to bada 2.0 and a demonstration of the key differences and enhanced features of the updated platform, such as multi-tasking, Wi-Fi Direct, Near Field Communication (NFC) and voice recognition,’ said Samsung.

To see what else Samsung has up its sleeve, just read more after the break…

Is there a market in the United States for bada to grow?

With Samsung being the top vendor of smartphones in the world and having a strong presense in the United States with the Galaxy S Android lineup being so popular, it is easy to understand why Samsung hasn’t introduced bada in the United States. From a business perspective, it comes down to dollars and cents and with Android carrying the load, Samsung is riding with it. However, I do think it is a mistake for Samsung not to to give bada a chance in the States. See my reasons why after the break….

1. Whether you think so or not, there IS a market for bada in the United States. With iOS and Android reigning king in the United States, one might think bada would be a tough sell. I do not think that would be the case. Samsung’s platform has a lot going for it that the others do not. Bada is a secure platform aimed mainly at those who are coming from a feature phone to a smartphone for the first time therefore, the prices are very low. You get a ton of features for less money which is always a good thing. Bada 2.0 is very smooth, fluid, and secure as well…something that cannot be said with Android. Bada also offers a unique user experience that I think would many Americans would enjoy who have become bored with the normal Android and iOS love-fest going on. Someone who just wants to get work done, communicate, and not worry about OS updates coming every week would enjoy bada.
