Samsung to compete Android and Symbian by launch of their new open mobile platform-Bada
Samsung mobile is in news for their high end touchscreen devices quite a while now. Now the company aims to put power of the smartphone in the hands of mid-range buyers through their new mobile phone platform called "bada". Bada in korean mens ocean. Thus this with this OS Samsung aims to open many opportunities for mid to high range buyers.
The launch of Bada can be really alarming for Nokia's Symbian foundation-which is currently supplied with most of the smartphones. Moreover, it can also become a major threat to Google' s budding mobile platform Android. Windows Mobile is losing it's marketshare to iPhone and Blackberry, there is no doubt that it's not much preferred platform these days.
Samsung lauched it on 10th November, and also announced that it aims to fully replace current devices with Symbian and WiMo with their new OS by 2012(You might also have heard about Samsung's sky-high ambition of overtaking Nokia by 2012!).
Samsung is basically master in the hardware aspects when it comes to designing a phone and built-in chips etc. etc. but Samsung currently doesn't has a platform user can rely on. So the company has to rely on Symbian foundation and Windows Mobile for OS supply. But with this step, Samsung will become independent in terms of operating interface thus can make their presence strong with unique identity among iPhones and Blackberries. Moreover, users will surely attract to this new platform if company can attract some mighty developers first! And if everything will go right then there is no doubt Samsung can set a new standard in the industry. Samsung mobile's marketshare is already rising and their own OS can give a boost to it and can even make it the world's No.1 mobile phone manufacturer!
Coming back to Bada now.Samsung aims to produce it's first Bada device by 2010. Currently Samsung hasn't declared much about Bada. But as Samsung says, it will make current smartphone experiences available to all. Hope we will come to know more features of Bada in December, when Samsung aims to release Bada SDK. Be ready to see cut throat competition in near future in the Smartphone battlefield!

Nokia's 3G Booklet: A new kid in the town!
It was much rumored that the telecommunication giant Nokia would enter the computer market and as usual like much rumored "Aeon", many people didn't take it seriously until the company has announced it's first mobile computing product on 24th August which they will call '3G Booklet'.
Some may argue that they are already many playe
rs in the market striving to provide advanced and more portable experience but one of the noticeable thing about this booklet is it's hot-swappable SIM card slot, which enables users to get advantage of 3.5 G services offered by mobile carriers also. Apart from this the another feature that catches the attention of critics is the HDMI port combined with an Atom based processor which is not much powerful enough to produce high quality HD output and such architectural combination was never seen before.
Like Apple, Nokia has also earned a great reputation among it's users so that they always expect company's products to be one step ahead than rest of the gadgets, let it be 5800 XpressMusic (which was not much admired by critics though!)or it's new N97. So the Nokia lovers worldwide are hoping a masterpiece, let the time tell what happens the next.
Here is a quick look at some of the key features of this future product:

At first sight, it seems that the cabinet is made up of aluminum (like a Macbook!)and plastic components. The keys are arranged with enough space with somewhat different design. The one thing you miss in most of the netbooks is dedicated volume controls and shortcut keys,and this one will be no exception.
The looks is quite impressive and the lid has glossy finish which gives a rich impact. The power off button is placed on the right side near to SD/SIM slots. However, I was unable to find a Kensington lock slit. (In pictures of course!)
If compared to an Eee PC Eee PC 1008HA, it is slightly wider, but slimmer dimension wise. The storage capacity can be expanded to at least 160 GB. None of the Eee PCs have HDMI port and 3G capacity and such an advanced processor.
Note: The features mentioned may subjected to change as the product is just announced and not officially released.
Here are some picture for you:
