Online petition for Bada Developers
I have started an on-line petition for the benefit of the Samsung’s Bada community to lift the ban and restrictions for developers who develop apps on their own handsets… this was sparked by my posting to Samsung’s official Bada forum about the nature of the restriction in place…to quote
We, application developers for Samsung’s bada OS, ask Samsung to grant us improved and easier access to our own developed applications on bada handsets.In the current situation, Samsung restricts us developers to only one application at a time on our bada device for debugging or test purposes as well as for personal use.Although the current limitations might be to decrease potential dangers of software piracy – but as developers, are we actually going to pirate our own applications that we developed? We, the developers, fork out a lot of money to get our hands on our devices and invest our time and patience in developing applications for our own and everyone else’s use. We should have the right to have free unrestricted access to our own self-created applications on our devices.We should be allowed to hold more than a single self-developed application on our devices, to lift the severe limitations and inflexibility caused by the one-app-restriction, and to increase efficiency by allowing parallel debugging and testing of several applications at a time.The logic in the current restriction appears almost ridiculous, as this would also mean that we developers have to buy and pay at the Appstore for our own application we created in order to actually use it ourselves.Thus, Our proposal is the following:Disband the restriction of one self-developed application per device for bada developers.One possible solution, concerning both parties, we developers as well as Samsung, would be the following:To register developer handsets and IMEI numbers at Samsung, receiving a internal root certificate, which is tied to our own device, enabling us to develop, test, debug and use multiple applications on our devices at once and to be able to run those without any restrictions.
