What is Bada
Samsung bada is a smartphone platform released in 2010. The word “bada” means “ocean” in Korean. Samsung Wave is the first bada-powered phone. For developers, bada will bring a new blue ocean of mobile applications. For customers, they will have a wider choice of smartphones with cost-effective yet powerful bada-powered phones.
Vision of bada
The vision of bada is “Smartphone for Everyone”. bada’s main goal is not to compete with other existing smartphone platforms. Instead, bada will turn Samsung’s conventional customers into smartphone users by providing cost-effective smartphones. This means that bada will open and extend a new smartphone market, which does not exist in the current mobile market.
History of bada
Samsung bada has long history. Almost 10 years of history. It has been Samsung’s proprietary platform for a long time. During its long history, it has been deployed in many successful handsets. For example, Samsung “Star” is an example of recent successful phones, of which sales surpassed 10 million units, just six months after its release.
To make the proprietary platform smarter, we added exciting features such as multipoint-touch, 3D graphics, an enhanced UI, and of course, application downloads and installation, and so bada was born. Samsung bada is proven to be reliable with its history and also enhanced with its new features.
Business with bada
Samsung bada will help mobile developers to expand their application business. Our aim is to continue to release successful models. Over 220,000,000 customers bought Samsung handsets in 2009. Over 40,000,000 customers bought Samsung touch phones last year. Samsung bada will rapidly be adopted by such customers this year.
In addition, the global distribution and coverage of Samsung mobile phones and Samsung Apps, the application store, will boost developers´ businesses. Samsung Apps will expand its service to 75 countries for bada in 2010.
No wonder. A new blue ocean is coming. We hope you are among the early birds in this new market.
Features of bada
Even though bada supports a wide range of devices, bada is powerful enough to turn your imagination into powerful applications. With high end devices such as Wave, bada fully utilizes the power of hardware for the ultimate application experience. Even with mid-range or cost-effective models, it also provides powerful features for better application experiences.
Features such as plenty of UI controls, Flash support, and sensor support help applications to be more interactive. Service-centric features such as in-app-purchasing, SNS integration, and push notification help applications to offer customers a richer, more interactive experience.

Resistive touchscreen
In the cell phone industry there are two major categories of touchscreen displays: capacitive touchscreens and resistive touchscreens. Resistive touchscreen displays are composed of multiple layers that are separated by thin spaces. Pressure applied to the surface of the display by a finger or stylus causes the layers to touch, which completes electrical circuits and tells the device where the user is touching. As such, resistive type touchscreens require much more pressure to activate than capacitive touchscreens. Examples of devices with resistive touchscreens are the HTC Touch Diamond and the Samsung SGH-i900 Omnia.

Capacitive Touch Screen
In the cell phone industry there are two major categories of touchscreen displays: capacitive touchscreens and resistive touchscreens. Capacitive touchscreen displays rely on the electrical properties of the human body to detect when and where on a display the user touching. Because of this, capacitive displays can be controlled with very light touches of a finger and generally cannot be used with a mechanical stylus or a gloved hand. Examples of devices with capacitive touchscreens are the Apple iPhone and the T-Mobile G1.
