MeeGo dead, to be replaced by Samsung-Intel backed Tizen

iOS, Android, WP7, bada, Symbian and now.... TIZEN? so crowded... just like the world... from 6 billion to 7 billion.

"it’s Samsung’s participation, but a range of other companies from the LiMo foundation will also join in: ACCESS, Panasonic Mobile, NEC Casio, NTT DoCoMo, Samsung, SK Telecom, Telefonica, and Vodafone are all included."

It's very interesting that HTC is not listed. May the rumors about its acquisition of WebOS are right?

I hope this becomes a good competitor to android, but to be successful, i think it needs a more attractive name... Anyone else agree?

The right term is merger. PA be accurate.

The only 5 OS competitors I see at the moment are Android, iOS, Windows Phone, BlackBerry (with QNX) and Bada. All these other OSs, like webOS, MeeGo, Symbian, the Korean OS and this new Tizen OS all look unlikely to reach a good position in the market this late in the game.

Sounds like its a Samsung thing. Now that they played and won the the game, its time for others to play their game. Could this mean "good-bye" Android and hello Tizen? Since the announcement of Google/Moto merger, rumors flyin around some oems looking for their own OS.

Development, as we have seen, doesn't mean it will make it to the light of day. These are a lot of names, but unless Samsung is willing to double down and dump Bada who is going to get the support on the hardware side? The market is still growing, but not like it was in 2007/2008. It is going to be real hard to get the foot in the door with a new OS. In 10 years from now, who knows if there will be different names at the top. But, this is super risky stuff here. How many more companies are going to be willing to take the plunge on the cost of development unless one of these actually takes off and becomes profitable?

Elope throws away a great OS for a half assed WP7. Where so many other companies can see the potential in meego, why the hell can't he??
