Samsung's Bada 1.2 SDK goes gold

Just a little more than three months after the release of the final 1.0 SDK, Samsung has gone gold with version 1.2, proving that it can go tit-for-tat with Android in releasing new operating system versions at a ridiculous pace. Of course, in Bada's case, it's only Samsung developing devices -- so we imagine they have the situation under control. The big new feature in 1.2 would be support for the latest batch of Bada phones in the marketplace like the Wave 575 and Wave II, but you've also got improved Flash support and a full OpenGL ESimplementation, both of which should bump up Bada's street cred in the gaming community. The final version of the SDK is available -- for free, naturally -- to download now.
