Samsung to make Bada open-source projectSeptember 20, 2011 - 17:27 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Samsung is planning to make its mobile platform Bada into an open-source project next year. According to Mashable, the company also plans to expand Bada into a platform that could be used in devices other than smartphones, such as smart TV sets. The move unofficial and unconfirmed at this point comes shortly after Google purchased Motorola Mobility, which puts Android smartphone manufacturers into an awkward position, as it means that Google will directly be competing against them on their own platform. Recently, there were some rumors about Samsung to buy a mobile MeeGo and WebOS operating platforms. But Sumsung rejected those rumors. HTC and Samsung are two biggest Android smartphone manufacturers, and Google’s acquisition has them both backpedaling from Android a little. Samsung’s strategy seems to be different, though, as the company reportedly doesn’t have plans to purchase a new mobile operating system. Turning Bada, which so far hasn’t been very successful, into an open-source project, might be a push the platform needs to become relevant in the smartphone space.
