You may laugh, but with scarce details and a december-ish timeframe is this just a fluke?

www.bada.com

Flame away...

@gregthecanuck

even if that was the m.a.p. i woulden't give a cent for any kind of a project like this.
maybe a laptop?

We can dream that a big name like Samsung would help Amiga OS. Exciting times ahead!

Has anyone figured out what bada is? That website is sooooo vague.

I guess it s bada-dee-bada-daa. Or was it bada-daa-bada-dee. At least some hot air seems to be included. in other words: I agree, I haven't figured out what bada should be. Seems more like a project for A. Inc..

Bada is a Korean word and means ocean, it was chosen to express the endless possibillities of the platform. Today Samsung has phones with Android, WindowsMobile, Symbian and some proprietary systems. Of course AOS4 could be BadaOS but if I where Samsung I would prefer a something like Linux, you get it for free and with the right Desktop and Middleware this server OS acts like any other mobile OS.
There are good examples like Android, WebOS and OpenMoko even OSX on the iPhone is a UNIX like operation system like Linux. But Bada seems to be more than an OS, an application shop like iTunes and maybe cloud computing like Apple's MobileMe.

It's all about platforms.
The bada platform is interesting when you consider that just the other day I read that Samsung are dropping Windows Mobile and going with Android.

I agree that having someone like Samsung provide a revenue stream for Hyperion (or Amiga Inc.) would be mega awesome.

These Korean conglomerates don't mess about. And Koreans don't seem to have much love for Microsoft if you consider the TMax Window (no plural) OS. And they have no problem playing games that were developed in the late 90's a.k.a The Gateway Era.

Plus Samsung is a component and hardware manufacturer with an ARM license (for those of you dreaming of an ARM future).

It would be funny if bada used Bing as it's default search provider ;)

That would be interesting. I'm getting a Samsung Android smartphone in a couple of days. It would be cool if it could run an Amiga based OS shortly after I got it!

But everyone is making a "platform" these days with "endless possibilities" for their "developer community."

About all that I can get beyond this is that it's for mobile software. That's still way to vague to be useful.

Ugh, I hope not. Why on Earth would Hyperion (or Samsung, for that matter) want to compete directly with toolkits from Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Symbian? (And Palm, I guess. Are they even relevant, apart from annoying Apple now and again?)

It would be better than this Samusng A401 mobile I have where the web browser can crash and reset the whole phone!

Perhaps they are looking for something to fit to their basic models?

Seeing AmigaOS or even AGA with mobile technology would have been good for the Amiga. But now, it's too late, mobiles are too complicated. Heck, the video player would kill my G3 Mac, by being 50x faster at playing AVIs. And even a souped up PPC Amiga is starting to lack compared to the memory a modern phone has!

Sure, mobiles beat an A1200 ages ago. Let's not forget, a modern mobile also kills a classic Mac and a 586DX.

Here is a little info on it.

Seems to be Linux based.

IIRC, the most ambitious project should deliver user demanded higher performance.
So, it's not bada.

There is a Linux hosted AROS version that could be ported, but smartpone OSes doesn't use X11 usually so it would be a lot of work to do.

@Hypex

Common man, geees, whats wrong with you.

Just be happy if an amiga like Os does come onto a phone companies list of OS'es, it will mean I would buy that phone.

BUT

As someone else here suggested, I would be more in need of a laptop / netbook amiga.

If Hyperions project is a Linux hosted OAS4 it could be something usefull for embedded applications, like mobile phone, set top boxes ...

AA2? :)

My friend works at Nokia and they are very secret. Linux is all over written there even at our local newspaper.

I thought about Samsung at the mornig then if I changed camps before reading this. What a coinsidence?
Samsung is our big flat tv now. Maybe there is a good operating system for tv:s;)
That would not be too ambitious?

If and maybe.. Integrate Amiga OS4 to a top notch tv with Timberwolf.

Did I guess it right? No? Just a good idea then freely to use for Hyperion.

Bada is "announced as an "open" mobile platform called "Bada," which appears to be a programmable UI layer that runs on its proprietary feature phones, although one report defines Bada as Samsung's own Linux OS"

See the article here :
http://www.linuxfordevices.com/c/a/News/Samsung-Bada/

In other words, Bada could be an OS to run on ARM processors but it is certainly a top-level framework upon the Linux kernel. In any ways, nothing related to Amiga.
