Samsung has outlined some of the plans for its own smartphone OS, Bada which it expects to offer next year.

The details came from a couple of slides shown at the company’s developers day event in South Korea, and also noted that the company expects to have sold at least 5 million Bada-powered Wave phones by the end of this year. The Samsung Wave, the first smartphone based on Samsung’s Bada platform, hit the market in June 2010.

In addition, the company is targeting sales of at least 10 million Wave smartphones in the first six months of 2011.

As for the OS upgrades, the more notable additions include support for third-party multitasking, push notifications and an upgraded user interface (UI) that will include a smart “home screen”, an integrated ad network along with mobile network billing and NFC support. There will also be unspecified improvements in the OS security.
