Innovative & Advanced - The brand new bada 2.0 UX

Homescreen
The bada 2.0 UX has been improved in several areas compared with prior versions of bada.
First, the arrangement of the Applications on the screen has been changed from 3x4 to 4x4 so that users can view more applications on a single screen. And users can configure the “Homescreen”, which is easy to use, by creating widgets, application shortcuts and folders. In edit mode, a folder is created automatically if users multi-touch two applications. If a user drags a folder before opening it, they can see what apps are in the folder with an interesting 3D preview effect. By having the Contact icon on the Homescreen, users can make a phone call or send a message right away.

Livepanel
The Live panel shows frequently used information on one page, this being one of the key concepts of bada 2.0 UX. Users can easily see the clock, weather, news, stock prices and other real-time content at a single glance. Users can turn each panel on and off and freely move around this position.

Enhanced Copy & Paste functionality
The copy & paste method has become much more useful by using the clipboard since bada 2.0. Users can copy several items (max. 5 items, more than 19000 characters) to the clipboard, and paste them at any time.

Multitasking
bada 2.0 supports “Full multi-tasking”. This allows users to run multiple apps at the same time. For example, while listening to music, the navigation function will get them where they want to go. (* The number of running application may differ depending on the device.)
N screen file sharing
From bada 2.0. on the file sharing function is more enhanced. Users can send files quickly via Wi-Fi. And the AllShare feature allows users to transmit image and video files to a TV so that they can be enjoyed on a larger screen.
Voice UX/Motion UX (Voice Search, Command, Dictation)
The voice search function has a more powerful engine from bada 2.0. on.
The search function will find any information you are looking for. With simple voice commands, users can access various menus, and dictate messages which are displayed in the message box. bada’s powerful dictation capability makes users feel as if they are having a real conversation.
