OK, look, my head is spinning here. This quote from The Verge:
//The MeeGo project is already encouraging its members to make the transition to Tizen, going so far as to say that it believes the “future belongs to HTML5-based applications, outside of a relatively small percentage of apps, and we are firmly convinced that our investment needs to shift toward HTML5.”
I just don't understand how this then differs from webOS! Can someone make this clear to me? Why reinvent the wheel? Do they feel webOS is now cursed or what?
From a coder's perspective, what's the real difference here?

- mikecane 15y agoWhy couldn't they band together, buy webOS, and then open source that? Spread over the number of members, the investment would be less than starting from scratch or trying to resolve incompatibilities between all these groups looking to cut their own slice of cheese.
