I've seen pics of the boxes, I've made my request for a few, might even be taking a trip down there - my "bro" is pulling me down there anyway, so win-win - and I'd rather have everything concrete before I say one way or the other.

snip... which leaves my phone free to be a phone more often than if I didn't have my tablet....so, it CAN replace it. It just depends on the individual, form factor, compatibility, support and so on.
you're overkill right now

They really should reconsider the name. Quickly.
Is it because it's mostly Nordic + Korean/Japanese peoples involved in the naming?
I at least want some explanation of how they came up with the name, & it better not be stupid.

The whole Tizen thing is actually a bit funny because Nokia whined a long time before they were allowed to call Harmattan Meego.
Now what's next? The N9 being delayed a few more weeks because they must make new boxes marked "Tizen 1.2 Harmattan".

Don't forget that Samsung has been talking up rumors about dropping Windows Phone 7. If nothing else, this might be leverage somehow--or maybe they're genuinely considering growing past Android and into something more desktop-powerful on efficient processors for mobile laptops and tablets that Android might not quite satisfy. Just brainstorming based on these various rumors and confirmed revelations together. I sincerely doubt they'll drop Android on handsets and tablets, in any case... at least not in the foreseeable future.
<SNIP>
Android is a source of revenue for Microsoft - vague patents that have yet to be explained in full detail. Samsung is paying Microsoft doubly. Tizen might resolve that, but it's far too early.

Moblin was a way for Intel to break its reliance on MS with the ATOM CPUs (since MS let them down with W7). I always thought Intel's (Moblin/x86) main reason for partnering with Nokia (Maemo/ARM) and creating Meego was to increase the popularity and interoperability of Moblin but without having to create their own handset HW. They wanted an open "3 screens" OS. So Nokia would target handsets (ARM devices) and Intel continue to target Atom Netbooks and Tablets (x86 devices).
Meego is independent of Intel's plan to create handset HW in the future. Intel did not care that competing companies like ARM or AMD would also benefit from Meego, it was about the end result, because by creating a truly open OS Intel as a hardware manufacturer becomes independent from other companies like MS who can otherwise dictate their future if they happen to partner with or favour any one HW manufacturer. The creation of a competing open OS is Intels number one goal in Meego, it's not future hardware. Intels targeted hardware we already have, the ATOM CPU (Desktops,netbooks,WeTab,etc). It was Nokia who were meant to provide "the third screen" with ARM.
I'll let you decide who is who.
I'm not trying to judge the character of the companies myself, only their interests and incentives.
