据了解，三星Galaxy S系列产品在创造的美国500万销量中，采用Android操作系统的手机高达40%，人们不禁好奇，三星究竟将如何定位自己开发的bada智能手机操作系统。

不过，bada并不与美国运营商合作，它的战场在欧洲，已面向当地推出了几款bada新型手机，包括：Wave525(S5250)、Wave533(S5330)、Wave575(S5750)和Wave723(S7230)。

为了给这些产品加码，三星又与一些手机游戏公司展开合作，尤其是EA Mobile和Gameloft，这两家公司为三星bada手机提供了大量颇受欢迎的免费游戏。

其中，EA Mobile通过应用商店三星乐园（Samsung Apps），各发行了25万份的《FIFA 10》、《Tetris Refresh》、《孢子生物》（Spore Creatures）游戏；Gameloft则提供了30万份的《刺客信条II 》（Assassin’s Creed II》。

在此之前，EA向三星提供的免费游戏是《极品飞车：变速》（Need for Speed: Shift），Gameloft是《Asphalt 5》。

据悉，英国、意大利、德国、法国、新加坡五国的三星bada手机用户已可通过三星乐园下载体验上述游戏，三星还将面向更多国家推出新款bada手机。（本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译）

Samsung supports bada with new free game deals from EA and Gameloft

With the success of its Android-based phones such as the Galaxy S driving most press attention, we’re interested about how Samsung is positioning its own bada smartphone OS.

Of course, Android is hot in the US at the present, which is where 40 percent of the Galaxy S’ five million sales have occurred.

Bada doesn’t work for US carriers, hence it’s a European play – something Samsung is backing up with the launch of three new bada phones – Wave525 (S5250), Wave533 (S5330), Wave575 (S5750) and Wave723 (S7230).

Free game with that?

To support the release, the company’s looking to game companies – specifically EA Mobile and Gameloft – with which it’s cut deals to give away some of their high profile IP for free.

For this reason, EA Mobile is giving away 250,000 copies each of FIFA 10, Tetris Refresh and Spore Creatures via Samsung Apps. Gameloft is giving away 300,000 copies of Assassin’s Creed II for free.

Both companies have done similar deals in the past: EA’s freebeeing Need for Speed: Shift and Gameloft Asphalt 5.

Building out ecosystem

The deal is available via Samsung Apps for bada devices in the United Kingdom, Italy, Germany, France and Singapore, with more countries to follow as the new phones are rolled out.（source:pocketgamer）
