Samsung will licence their (Tizen) OS to other MFG's? - when they already own the marketplace for devices?
That's akin to KFC giving away the (secret) 11 different herbs and spices recipe to all fried chicken vendors...
I think if Samsung were REALLY smart (and are truly committed to this venture), they should pay Erel 1B to create and dev platform that would attract the masses to ensure they could keep going - beyond Android...
Until such time - it amounts to 2 big boys in a pissing contest - seeing who can squirt the furthest...
Must be nice to have so much cash to play and taunt with...
