This, gentlemen, sounds like we'll have a real Linux phone again. Eventually. I heard Q1 2012.
The problem with anything new is that will be "step 1 of 5" all over again...

I guess it will be the same situation as with MeeGo 1.0 then.

Samsung should do something. It is going now to be time, when every big hardware producer should have own operating system. HTC is looking for something. Samsung was talking about creating OS with support of korean government. So propably this is that step, creating TIzen.

To me this looks like a cursed Midas touch, once again. Good luck to LIMO and Intel engineers.
I guess there are few areas where this project has chances to get to our homes in real life: TV and automotive. Getting TV stuff standardized on Tizen is nice and at least can help creating more market around those devices in next two-three years besides typical use. After all, if real HTML5 goodness will be available in TVsets, who will need to have Wiis and PS3s anymore?

Looks like nothing has changed.
This is Harmattan without Qt support, and the overlay of API's has been changed to support HTML5 directly. So its basically a cloud computing system, not unlike ChromeOS.
I think we can all kiss our dreams goodbye. Besides the N900 (or N9/N950 concepts) we'd need to shift to Android otherwise something like Ubuntu Netbook Remix with support for ARM.

How come there always has to be a new name, new tools, new firms? For media attention or what? Why not just continue some long term process that others have already started? Shouldn't Linux Foundation control this kind of stuff? How come the current linux projects are not compatible?
The worst thing really is, that every time they seem to start from scratch. They key to the small success of Maemo was - in my opinion - that it was based on active, stable and well supported Debian.
Besides, HTML5 isn't even standardized yet.

It's too depressing for words.
