Maybe Bada and Tizen for Samsung were just a backdoor if Google vs Oracle Java-trial would have ended sour.

Samsung Galaxy S3 sells extremely well and the recent lost case against Apple only really affects in USA where gesture patents are (ridiculously) valid. The design protection in many other countries doesn't affect S3, as it was purposely designed to be different (rounded corners).

Besides, Android Jelly Bean source code is available and Android seems to go further ahead to be like real Linux, so I wonder if I really need Tizen, Bada, Jolla, Meego anymore.
