If it isn't powered by Mer, it isn't worth interest A big no-no for another "big bad browser" OS. we've been through this with WebOS, haven't we?

lol at the task switcher....
Anyway, now that I have my eye candy phone, I'm not buying another until one comes with:
- hwk
- intel soc (open drivers hopefully)
- open bootloader

Not sure if I like it. Looks far too derivative of many different OS's out there. Needs to be more innovative.

X11 + GLESv2/EGL drivers for it and glibc, I would take that phone in a heartbeat if it was hackable..

As far as I know the i9500 is supposed to be the Samsung Galaxy S3 and I don't think that Samsung would release a flagship device with anything but Android.
While I really hope it is not, I think this is a fake ...

Well, yeah the task switcher is quite basic but actually pretty efficient:
  • you can list more application windows at once
  • you don't have to show/generate window thumbnails

But window thumbnails:
  • are a better metaphor IMO
  • are larger -> easier to press, making application switching faster

The whole GUI looks like basic - so what, as long there are no glaring usability mistakes.

I might consider porting my applications - provided there are Python bindings for Qt (or some other toolkit) available on Tizen.

You are right. I know lots of things.

My comment? Sit back and relax. Have a beer and wait for confirmation from samsung. I9500 might be SGlll and this GUI might be a demo...
