After Handmark, Samsung has scored another mobile app publisher to support its Bada platform – Netbiscuits. Actually, Netbiscuits is not a publisher per se, they are the “development and publishing platform for mobile web sites and apps” and they will allow its users to get content on Samsung Bada smartphones, Samsung Wave (S8500) included.
Samsung Bada apps made by Netbiscuits get implemented as native hybrid applications. In that way, Netbiscuits customers have a central interface for managing all mobile content, whether it is requested via the mobile website or a native Bada app (which is available to the users through Samsung Apps).
Among the first Netbiscuits customers that will make native hybrid apps for Bada, we find Axel Springer, Spiegel Online, IDG Germany and kicker online.
Now will that help Bada platform significantly expand? I don’t think so, but what I know. We’ll definitely be watching and keep you folks in the loop. Stay tuned…
