I really can't see much point in Tizen except maybe as a bargaining chip used to keep Google honest with Android.
- Aissen 14y agoYou do know Samsung is already doing that, and is very successful at it ? They're the #1 Android maker. So they must have their reasons for wanting to escape Google's control.
- cageface 14y agoWhat? They lay their own TouchWiz UI over Android but I'd hardly call it a fork. Amazon's version is a fork. Unless you have secret information to share.
- yareally 14y agoIt's really not a fork in the way forks go. They have to stay compatible to a point with the master AOSP branch as per agreements with Google. Amazon has no such obligations.
