Samsung will merge bada with Tizen

Tizen and Android has got the same kernel architecture - ARMLinux. Only platform (GUI and API layer) differs, Bada (previously Mocha/SHP - Samsung Handset Platform) is also platform, the thing is that in Tizen and Android you can easily see difference between kernel - single binary (usually zImage) file, and platform - set of libraries and executables. Current Bada releases are Nucleus kernel with statically linked SHP/Mocha's core libraries and DLL API libs. Bada platform can be rather easy build as set DLL libs and executables ready to work with ARMLinux kernel. For now we can only guess how much will remain closed source and how much of it will become opensource. The thing is that if they use Tizen kernel, they have to release full kernel sources, which is usually covering big part of drivers (though drivers can be also build as .so modules and remain proprietary, as big part of modem drivers - RIL)

Samsung confirmed ?? Tizen on Wave ?

Samsung Mobile President JK Shin (Shin
Jong-kyun) launch of Samsung Galaxy
Note II in Korea said that they will soon
be going to merge the Bada Platform
with their new Tizen Operating System
which is being developed by Samsung
and Intel.According to him the Tizen
devices would take time to come into the
market.
Samsung Electronics also reorganized
the bada developer team by putting
them well on a team developing
software for Smart TV ecosystem and S
Pen, while also working on software
services such as Samsung Chaton,
AllShare Play, Music Hub, Family Story,
etc.. However, Samsung bada ensures
support for the Wave series
smartphones will continue . For the needs
of this great software, Samsung will
continue to recruit and grow in the field
of software engineers.
Samsung’s latest decision is expected to
be a win-win solutions for
everyone. Ecosystem bada and Tizen
Merger is expected to give completeness
to meet Samsung’s ambition to gain a
larger market and best alternative to
Android. With HTML5, the application
development process and content for a
variety of different devices
(smartphones, tablets, Smart TV, Smart
Camera, netbooks, etc.) will be able to
more quickly and easily. For developers,
manufacturers, operators, etc., the
decision is expected to create new
opportunities and greater economies of
scale.

Best Regards

Most of the shopping sites here in India are saying that Samsung wave 3 is discontinued.

Wave 3- Out of stock

This product has been permanently discontinued by the manufacturer/Brand.

It's bit shocking...without any new release...in October

App compatibility

Its funny that they claim app compatibility when they cant even make some popular bada 1.2 apps work with bada 2.
(example shrek kart, shrek's adventure, hero of sparta, tom clancy's hawx, GTA academy, bruce lee dragon warrior,blades of fury etc)
Now they claim bada apps will work with tizen.
I'll believe it when i see it but i dont think it will happen for most of the apps without a recompile.
