In putting the terminally flawed OS out to pasture, Samsung have realised their potential to become big players in the smartphone market.

bada had, quite rightfully come under criticism. Not only for being one OS too many in a market already full of high-quality competition, but further for having flaws that set it some way behind those that it was trying to match.

It was unreceptive to third-party developers, unlikely to support any future technological developments, and didn’t support multi-tasking – something certainly necessary in any new platform trying to assert itself in 2009.

But in taking on board Android, Samsung have bought into a system that is far more appealing for developers, and as such far more appealing to their potential customers.

Credit must be given to Google for producing such a capable and now ubiquitous OS. Though an outsourced system, it has become the software of choice for a vast swathe of the top end smartphone manufacturers. HTC power their ever-popular range on Android, as do Dell, Sony, LG, and Motorola, amongst others.

Samsung have really taken Android 2.1 to the next level on the Samsung Galaxy S though, and overlay the stock OS with a few bada inspired tweaks that make the user process a little smoother. These benefits are not inconsiderable, especially in light of the release of Android 2.2, which the Galaxy S will not run.

Simple things such as a readily accessible Wi-Fi toggle alongside on-screen icons for silent mode and keypad lock make the phone that little bit more user friendly, and in the current market – in which personal preference defines people’s choices as no hardware stands head and shoulders above the rest – these tweaks could prove decisive.

Samsung, in the Galaxy S, have given users the best of both worlds, ensuring that the efforts of their own bada developers haven’t gone to waste, whilst bringing increased functionality to their leading phone.

When it comes to advances in mobile phone technology, 2009 is shaping up to be a good year. With the announced release of at least 3 android phones, gadget enthusiasts will mark this year quite a memorable one indeed. HTC is the company that will usher this milestone. According to an HTC official, the mobile phone manufacturer will release at least 2 other Android phones aside from the HTC Magic. When this happens, there will be a total of at least four Android phones in the market, including HTC’s own T-Mobile G1.

While information on these Android phones have not been confirmed, the rest of the digital world is in a tizzy over the upcoming release of the Palm Pre. Palm, as you will remember, used to be the world’s leading smartphone manufacturer. But their throne was taken over by such giants as Apple and HTC. But with the release of the Palm Pre (early June in the US), Palm will once again be able to dance with the competition. It seems that the Palm Pre’s user interface and OS will redeem the company. If reports are to be believed, the Palm Pre’s user interface is similar to HTC’s TouchFLO interface. This means that it can give you better user experience as it can recognize many gestures and motions. The handset’s webOS is also proving to do a very good job.

Once users get their hands on the Palm Pre, we will know for sure if this device can prove to be the iPhone’s biggest rival. There will be many companies competing to offer the best mobile phone deals online. We feel the offers of a free handset with unlimited free landlines for the callers out there and Unlimited Texts for the texters are by far the best option.
