Samsung has announced that it plans to open its proprietary mobile operating system – Bada – to third party developers and device manufacturers in 2012, or in other words, make it an open-source platform, like Google’s Android operating system.

I think this is going to be a good news for mobile application developers.
So, now we can say that there is a competitor for Google’s Android operating system.

Interestingly BadaOS has more market share than WP7 and older WMs combined.
