Samsung today entered into the mobile OS arena with bada. The software, whose name is based on the Korean for “ocean,” is designed to be open and will compete directly against rivals like Android. Earlier today we reported that Samsung will be dropping Windows Mobile and Symbian for Android, looks like Android is going to get booted too.

Most details are left vague, but bada will have a central app store and the 1st device with bada will come out in 2010. You can expect to hear more in December when the company holds its launch event for the platform in London.
