Leaving to fork Android at Samsung or some such, for one
- nradov 8y agoSamsung already kind of did that with Tizen and it hasn't really worked out. Same with Amazon. Lack of engineering leadership isn't the main obstacle preventing Samsung and other vendors from successfully forking Android.
- slimsag 8y agoTizen is not a fork of Android. Tizen is about as far away from Android from a technology perspective as you can get with a mobile OS. This would be kind of like saying iOS was a successful fork of Android, it just doesn't make sense because they really are not the same. One runs native apps, the other runs a JVM. The only similarity is that they are both mobile OSs running Linux.
