Samsung has unveiled the latest upgrade to its own in-house smartphone operating system, the bada 2.0 platform.
The upgrade version of its smartphone OS includes support for Near Field Communication (NFC), Web applications including HTML 5 and WAC, multitasking, scalable UI – as well as voice recognition.
Samsung has improved the user experience on the bada with a personalized lock-screen, layout management and 3D sound.
According to JK Shin, President and Head of Samsung’s Mobile Communications Business, they are delighted with the success of the original bada platform, which was launched at MWC last year. They have looked to build on this with bada 2.0 by creating a versatile and robust platform capable of continuing the success of its predecessor. The company has also created and strengthened an eco-system around bada, ensuring that the developers are able to create the apps their customers need.
‘bada 2.0′ is also equipped with an improved Software Development Kit (SDK), opening up the platform to more developers working across different PC operating systems. The SDK also includes additional features such as an advanced code analyzer as well as a faster simulator, allowing developers more insight into the performance of their apps.
