Hi Board

I think the HSS is a red herring and the "glow" seen in the video (being passed around from person to person) is social networking using the built in NFC chip (near field communication).

It looks like Bada 2.0 is due for (official) release on Sep 1st (originally planned for Q2/2011 - a delay!).

A 2.0 SDK was also released last week (Aug 26th):
