Samsung announced (via Twitter) that all of its Wave smartphones will get the bada 2.0 update, including those phones that don’t have WVGA displays. The timeline isn’t precisely defined and all we have is Q4, which means anything from now to the end of the year.
Of course, the number of features will vary depending on the phone’s hardware specifications — i.e. you can’t have contactless payments without an NFC chip.
In related news, the Korean company made bada SDK 2.0.1 available for download. This is a bug fixing release that doesn’t pack many new features. Interested developers — presuming some of you are interested to get their apps to the Samsung Wave device owners — can hop over to the Bada developer center and grab the new SDK from there.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.
In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
