Samsung’s very own operating system Bada will soon be updated to version 1.2 which will basically bring some changes to the OS. And now Samsung has reported through its Twitter page that phones with displays of WQVGA resolution will not be eligible for the upgrade. This is very bad news for most users of Samsung’s Wave range of phones. Devices like the Wave S5330, Wave 578, S7230E, Wave 525, S5250, Wave 575, Wave 723, Wave 533, S5780 and S5750 have a display of such caliber. So it’s rather sad … [Read more...]

Well, in my opinion it’s the open sourced nature of Android that has brought it where it is today. On the other hand there is Apple, which has a different set of customers with slightly different mindsets. The iPhone was launched in 2007 with much grandeur by Apple. Back then the iPhone was one of a kind, now with the emergence of Android, we get … [Read more...]
