I don't believe Samsung have stated which kernel they've used on any particular device but the copyrights on the Wave II suggests it has a BSD kernel. The Bada platform is designed so it could use the Linux kernel too by the way.

Multitasking? Err, kind of... the stuff Samsung has preinstalled can multitask with one installed app but that's it.

If you'd used the Bada SDK you'd know there are events triggered when your app is put into a state of suspended animation and for when it's woken up again. You have to handle these events so when a user returns to your app it appears to be in the same state they left it in, it's a kind of faux multitasking.

Programming for Bada also feels extremely old, you have to handle memory management yourself and there's no built in exceptions. I very much doubt there's anything about Bada that is "something completely new"
