Oh the ignorance is just so thick and slimy. First, Bada is not an OS, it is a platform, more like Qt. Bada can run on several different core OS'es. On the Wave S8500 it runs on OpenBSD. It is not meant for high end, not yet anyway, although the Wave with 1GHz processor and super amoled is not exactly low end. Version 2.0 is coming in June, also for the first Wave. 2.0 will have full multitasking, NFC, HTML5 and so on.

It has sold 5 million last year (since June), and they predict sales of 10 million in the first half of 2011. The most selling Android phone ever, the Galaxy S, "only" sold 10 millions during all 12 months of 2010. I think it is safe to say that Bada is a success, and hell of a lot more so than MeeGo. Bada may very well use the MeeGo core, but why? it seems that OpenBSD is doing fine.
