Honestly I think there is an opportunity for GNU/Linux to succeed on phones. Android is decent but there is room for improvement. Given that Apple and Microsoft have both been floundering a new competitor is needed. No technology market can thrive with a monopoly, some sort of second competitor is needed.

Tizen has had remarkable growth and I do think it will eventually have critical mass with Samsung behind it. That said more effort is needed in order for it to reach critical mass. For one less fragmentation Tizen and Sailfish should either be merged or there needs to assurance of compatibility between each other so they can run the same packages. Maybe Samsung should acquire Jolla. Likewise Ubuntu and Tizen should also be compatible with each other. There is a future for GNU Linux devices provided we all work together to make it happen. We also need more hardware Android's success is from the wealth of hardware it has, GNU linux needs a similar wealth of hardware.

Android as well as Pocketpc, Symbian, and Palm Os revolutionized mobile devices and Tizen or Sailfish can revolutionize mobile devices once again.
