I actually wrote a short tutorial on how to get started writing EFL apps for Tizen myself (http://blog.mikeasoft.com/2012/06/23...chbox-and-efl/).

What's currently in question is whether it'll be possible for 3rd party developers to distribute native apps through any sort of official app store, which is a topic the Tizen steering committee have been pretty silent on. We may even end up with some splintered scenario in which some OEMs allow native apps in their stores and some don't; but that's all a matter of policy, not a technical restriction.
Wow, I hadn't heard that about Tizen, I thought it mostly was just pushing HTML5, but there were options to write with pretty much anything.... Why on earth would you limit yourself to a system that hasn't even been finalized. Well, I guess worse decisions have been made, like Silverlight....
