Samsung's Bada had a larger market share than Windows Phone until it was discontinued.

Samsung have a Tizen app challenge running at the moment with some substantial prizes available, they have a developer conference coming up in San Francisco in October and their own services, S Cloud, are rumoured to be launching next year.

Although HTML5 is the primary focus Tizen will allow developers to create native applications using the old Bada API.

Huawei and LG are also planning Tizen devices.

Despite a staggering marketing budget being lavished on it by MS, NOKIA and AT&T Windows Phone is still 'very small' (to quote Steve Ballmer), I don't think it will be long until its third place starts coming under pressure from Tizen once the devices start hitting the market.

I imagine NOKIA's engineers will be quietly testing Tizen out on the Lumia hardware too. Elop might not have a plan B but hopefully there are a few individuals within NOKIA who are bright enough to be continually assessing their post-Elop options.

Elop is so disrespectful of the company he's running he's never even learned how to correctly pronounce 'NOKIA'.
