Just got notice of yet another linux-based mobile operating system,<br>
Samsung's Bada:<br>

Are you worried yet? :P<br>

Is there any information on the frameworks/APIs they're using for Bada? I'm presuming it's Palm-like (mostly closed, GPLv2 underpinnings.)<br></blockquote><div><br>Yes, there is:<br><a href="http://developer.bada.com/apis/index.do">http://developer.bada.com/apis/index.do</a><br>
<br>However, I tried to figure out what they're using for about ten minutes and couldn't. At that time, my curiosity has disappeared. It's clearly what you said, Palm-like with mostly closed stuff, no emphasis on community involvement and lots of buzzwords. I couldn't even sort out what type of packing (if any) they were using in the OS.<br>

Can't say I'm worried, other than it's Yet Another Mobile OS.<br></blockquote><div><br>Yeah, I was being ironic. It just amazes me that some companies still have the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_Invented_Here">NIH Syndrome</a>.<br>
