We’ve heard it all before, except that this time it’s actually happening. Samsung will integrate its Bada OS into Tizen, the platform that emerged from Nokia and Intel’s MeeGo efforts.
Korean Yonhap reports comments from Samsung’s president of Media Solutions Center, Hong Won-pyo, who said that (elements of) Bada OS will be integrated in the Tizen OS. Instead of calling this a “straightforward merger,” Hong said we should view it as a “transition to a better service.”
Apparently Bada wasn’t good enough for modern smartphones and in that sense existing users of Bada-powered devices won’t be able to upgrade to the new system once it’s released. Not that these users necessarily expected anything in the first place…

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.
