back to article Samsung, carriers tout first Tizen mobes for late 2013

      The what else you're mentioning is called: Asha platform 1.0

      I know, very sexy, right?

    Can Tizen topple Android?

    To many minds Android + Samsung phones.

    Had to port HTML code...

    WTF...

    Or is that just Orange being Orange?

    Apart from that, with Samsung acting as app gatekeepers, you wont be getting many apps any time soon
