Yet they scraped it and moved on to Tizen[1]. While it's good that Tizen is linux based and open source, abandoning a perfectly good os(Bada)just in 2 years might not go well with it's app developers. They(devs) might think twice before developing for tizen now. Although Samsung seems to be planning to make bada open, I doubt it will get the same traction now.

Bada apps will be able to run on Samsung's version of Tizen, so Samsung is dropping Bada in a fashion similar to how Apple dropped OS9.

  Oh, good to know. It will be interesting to know how they do so with Bada being rtos.

  Or for that matter Windows Phone 7 and 8.

Bada is not a complete OS. It's an application environment that can sit on top of multiple kernels (I am quite sure a friend of mine had one with Linux - or something with version 2.6.xx but Wikipedia says no such phone ever existed). Tizen bundles a Linux kernel and looks more like a full OS.
