I understand what Samsung is doing here. They are smart, they know you really only need a limited number of *killer* apps and a sleek interface to get people to buy your phone, but damn, as a developer, this is just frustrating.
So with bada being developed by Samsung, does anyone think that they are going leave their existing Android, and WinMo phones in the dust and not release future developments for those existing phones?
Samsung has been kicking ass in whatever market they choose. I'm sure the OS will be very good.
Bada should enter the market in mid-2010. That's about the same time that Gartner predicted Microsoft's Windows Mobile phone OS will be discontinued.
So while one dies (WinMo), another is born (Bada), so we are still left with the same total number of phone OSes as before.

C'mon WinMo 7.... bring on C#/XNA.
