Hi kristof,

yes of course, you can be sure we will provide you with first 
screenshots soon.

De datamodel and UML class diagram are  ready and the team began to get 
use with SDK.

We have no ETA yet, but will provide you with screenshots as soon as 
possible.

Hi Christophe,

That is indeed great news.

And you are right, it is my purpose to get as much local apps in our 
store as possible. Unfortunately my resources are very limited that is 
why I invited you to at least convince you with my BADA talk...

But I think I can manage something for you: If you agree to develop your 
BeTrain app for BADA within a certain time frame (you can give me a 
proposal), I can send you 3 BADA devices as a gift for you and your 
developers.

This would be WAVE723, WAVE525, WAVE533. Unfortunately there are no more 
WAVE (first BADA device) available for the moment, but once I get new 
samples, I will send you one as well.

I also attached some extra information on our BADA system, but most you 
can find on www.bada.com <http://www.bada.com> and http://developer.bada.com

To answer your question on our GalaxyTab: http://galaxytab.samsungmobile.com

For this device it is even harder to get dev samples.

Instead I received a document with a message for Android developers on 
what they should focus to make their app work properly on the Galaxy 
Tab. But as you can see in the picture, your app is working perfectly on 
the tab.

Kind regards,

Kristof

Hello Kristof,

I have great news!
I've found a team for the Bada adaptation of BeTrains for Android. Three 
motivated guys are ready to work on it and are waiting more informations.

We also had a meeting with the NMBS/SNCB a few weeks ago, in order to 
access the best and fastest data. That's something very important for 
us: to keep contact with them and have an access to the best, more 
reliable and up-to-date data.

So, here are a few questions before creating the Bada application:

* Do you have an idea or more accurate estimations on when we can get 
the dev's phones? Developping on a computer without hardware tests is 
really hard for us if as we want to provide the best user experience in 
our application. They tested the SDK and the feedback is "it's too slow 
to work correctly".

* To be honnest with you, Nokia also contacted us to create a smartphone 
application, and they are really generous with us. That's why I would 
like to know your position on sponsoring or at least having a "long 
term" access to your best device to develop. You will understand that 
these 3 people and I are working for nothing during our free time and 
they will bring a huge plus-value to your products in Belgium. I 
strongly believe that you are willing to help our team to put a great 
application in Samsung Store. We will be motivated to provide really 
more belgian content to Bada app store.

that's a win-win: you have more free applications in the store, Samsung 
customers have an access to a lot of free quality app's in Belgium, and 
we have a nice relation with you.

* I will also work on a special version for the galaxy Tab. Do you have 
an idea on when the tablet will be available for public Belgium and if I 
can have one ASAP? I really want belgian people to have an access to the 
application immediatly after buying the galaxy Tab in the shops, if that 
is possible. My dream is to have a tablet version of Betrains in the 
Android market the same day than the official release of the Tab. That 
will also be a good commercial point for the tablet.

Thank a lot for the answers.

Kind regards,

Christophe
