Samsung Mobile Phone Blog

Looks like 2010 is the year of the supers; January started with what some people originally dubbed as the super phone, the HTC made Google phone, Nexus One. The device was not exactly what we all thought it would turn out to be. While it had all the specs and features we could hope for, its availability left much to be desired.

Now, Samsung is bringing out a new piece of technology in the form of the super AMOLED touch screen. Well, we honestly do not know what this is about. Whether this is a very high resolution screen or a bullet proof one still remains to be revealed this coming weekend. Either way, the real star of the show will not be new screen technology, but the new Samsung operating system, the Bada.

This little open source platform has plenty of competition in the realm of mobile phone operating systems, but considering how well the BlackBerry, Palm and iPhone OS have been doing, it is easy to see that proprietary operating systems tend to be very well made.

Not that those other operating systems are easily trumped. The Symbian OS has recently gone open source and Windows Mobile has just gotten a much needed upgrade in the form of the 6.5.3 Maldives update. Google’s Android operating system is still as highly sought after as ever as the little green robot just got its frozen yogurt update.

The Bada has left many people wondering if it is really any good. The Nokia Maemo just proved itself a worthwhile system with the N900. Like the Bada, the Maemo was only recently introduced and already has plenty of new apps. Samsung is confident that the Bada will also have the strong developer support it needs to be a successful OS.
