MeeGo gets to live in Intel and Samsung's labs in the form of the open-source Tizen mobile OS, which is apparently prepped to be the newest playground in the quest to take on Android, iOS and Windows Phone.

Samsung already said that Tizen and its own mobile OS bada might merge one day, and the Tizen project was also endorsed by Huawei recently. We've seen the typical grid of thumbnails when it comes to the gallery in early Tizen alphas, but things are apparently progressing as a new leak shows a revamped 3D interface there.

The thumbnail grid has stepped aside to make space for animated carousels with your photos and videos that can be swirled around, and the whole setup looks like a DNA spiral at times. Check it out in the video below.
