I'm wondering whatever happened to their Tizen project.
Theory: they were counting on the Android Compatibility Layer from OpenMobileWorldWide who just can't deliver. Now the Windows/Phone combined App ecosystem looks way better than starting from scratch and they want back in.
It's been years and the OMWW website still says ACL for Tizen is coming soon. God this empty braggart company (OMWW) really grates my cheese.
Probably they'll scrap it like they did with Bada OS, lol
Personally I think it's kinda too late for Samsung if they try to introduce new OS to the market, they already established a well known ecosystem and name, I mean, people know Samsung with the Galaxy name, and most people will think 'Wth is Tizen? Is it Android or something else?' Etc etc
Why don't they just release a flagship with Tizen OS instead they release it in low end phone, perhaps they don't want to take a risk
Imo though, btw I remember that Tizen can run Android app, is that true?
