South Korean mobile phone maker Samsung Electronics released in late 2009 its first mobile operating system, called bada, and has recently made available the final version of its bada Software Development Kit (SDK).

The new bada SDK 1.0.0 was released recently with some changes from the previous version, including support for more languages than the bada SDK beta 3 came with.

The new bada Software Development Kit (SDK) offers developers the possibility to take advantage of languages like Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, and Turkish.

Another important change in the new release is the addition of RTL (remote test laboratory), the development team notes.

“[RTL] is a new service that enables you to test your applications on the devices at a remote site. It allows you to test your application without your own device. RTL is not stable yet, and supports few languages on the remote devices, because RTL in this release is the beta version,” the changelog reads.

Other changes were also included in the new release, such as the possibility to use ColorPicker, EditDate, and EditTime controls in the UI Builder.

The release notes of bada SDK 1.0.0 also show: Osp::Content · RemoteAdvancedSearch, RemoteAdvancedSearchResult, and IRemoteAdvancedSearchListener are deprecated.

Osp::Location

· The privilege level of the REMOTE_LOCATION and REMOTE_LANDMARK privilege groups is changed from SYSTEM to NORMAL.

Osp::Social

· The privilege level of the BUDDY_SERVICE, MESSAGING_SERVICE, PRIVACY_SERVICE, PROFILE_SERVICE and SNS_SERVICE privilege groups is changed from SYSTEM to NORMAL.

Osp::System

· In the SystemInfo class, the value of the ScreenBitPerPixel key is changed from 24 to 32.

The same as the previous versions of the SDK, the new release comes with support for Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7 operating systems, and requires at least 1.8 GB of free disk space and minimum 1.4 GB of RAM memory.

The full package weighs in at 1.2GB. More on bada SDK 1.0.0, including download links, can be found on Softpedia here.
