Criticism of Bada 1.x
- In the beginning, all VOIP over Wi-Fi applications were banned which meant that popular applications such as Skype could not be used. In March 2011 this restriction was removed, allowing VOIP applications to run on the platform.
Some publications have criticized Bada 1.x over the following issues:
- The external sensor API is not open-ended, preventing new types of sensors or unexpected technology developments from being added in the future by third parties.
- Due to "performance and privacy issues", Bada 1.x applications cannot access the SMS/MMS inbox or receive incoming SMS/MMS notifications. This limit is removed since version 2.0.
- Bada versions 1.x only allowed one Bada third party application to run at a time. Multitasking applications was only possible between the base applications and one Bada third party application. This limit is removed since version 2.0.
- Mainstream Applications, such as Whatsapp, are not developed for Bada 1.2, this has not been resolved in Bada 2.0
- GPS facility was poor in the Bada 1.0 which was further updated in Bada 2.0
- Many countries, such as South Africa, still await the release of Bada 2.0

Famous quotes containing the words criticism of and/or criticism:
“The critic lives at second hand. He writes about. The poem, the novel, or the play must be given to him; criticism exists by the grace of other men’s genius. By virtue of style, criticism can itself become literature. But usually this occurs only when the writer is acting as critic of his own work or as outrider to his own poetics, when the criticism of Coleridge is work in progress or that of T.S. Eliot propaganda.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
“However intense my experience, I am conscious of the presence and criticism of a part of me, which, as it were, is not a part of me, but a spectator, sharing no experience, but taking note of it, and that is no more I than it is you. When the play, it may be the tragedy, of life is over, the spectator goes his way. It was a kind of fiction, a work of the imagination only, so far as he was concerned.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
