I'm supportive of the effort here, but frankly expect this to go nowhere for a few reasons.
- O/S alternatives such as WebOS and Android already exist, so the premise isn't really new.
- Without hardware distribution, the experience is going to suck. Unless there are carriers and device makers signed up, this is a non-starter.
- Mindshare from market share: ios/android/win currently represent the aggregate market in terms of apps. And that's where the app developers are.
- As a consumer, what makes me want a phone with this OS on it?
As for the sales pitch, the combo of better-technical-solution + open-source-appeal doesn't really resonate with me as a difference maker.
