There were already touch screen mobiles before the iPhone, in the same way that there were already voice management systems before the presentation of Siri. However, Apple knows how to add value to its launches, perhaps by simplifying it to make it more popular and manageable for its users, or by packaging the product (or service, in this case) with that beautiful packaging with which it arrived. to define the ability that Steve Jobs had to generate a field of distortion of reality.
Be that as it may, this type of control system using spoken commands will give something to talk about, worth the funny redundancy. Google already has its own for Android 2.3 Gingerbread mobiles, and Samsung installed the same function in the Samsung Galaxy S2 using Vlingo technology, which will very presumably be the same one that supplies this system to the next phones in the Wave range.
We say this because through Bloomberg we have learned that the Korean multinational could be working on a voice recognition and system management system integrated into the Bada platform, which is the one used by the terminals of the aforementioned Wave family.
It also happens that, with a view to positioning itself against a possible future strategy by Google to work more focused on its own hardware (a cabal based on the acquisition of Motorola by the Mountain View firm), Samsung promoted a greater prominence in future versions of Bada.
Proof of this is the announcement by the Asian firm to expand its staff of developers dedicated to Bada, so that they can expand the functions of the system, as well as attract the attention of professionals who create new applications for the native store of the platform, Samsung Apps.
And resuming the possible voice control function, for the moment it is unknown how Samsung would approach this system in future Bada mobiles (so much so, that for now it is a rumor that points in that direction). In any case, it is possible that it resembles, as we say, the one already presented by the Samsung Galaxy S2, very similar to the one that Google later incorporated into its mobiles through an update.
