Tizen
[03:59:28] matt [wronka.org]/Psi.generay Looking at the Tizen site, the first thing I looked at was the devices page which contains no devices, but target platforms (Smartphone, In-Vehicle, Tablet, Netbook); it reminds me of MeeGo 18 months ago.
I look forward to Nokia's next platform 18 months down the road, for Smarphone, In-Vehicle, Tablet, and Netbook devices.

My hope/expectation would be that the MeeGo device would be similar hardware.

Nokia has done a horrible job of supporting Maemo since the release of the N900; it's dead, and I hope MeeGo fares better. Harmattan will be curious.

MeeGo is effectively killing the best part of Maemo, the community. The draft of the spec is in RFC stage, but it sounds like it'll be an up-cliff battle at this point for MeeGo to have a full-fledged dependency-checking package managent system. Instead, the steering committee (Intel and Nokia) are hoping to convert it to use a restricyed Android/IOS packaging model in the hopes, apparently, of catching-up with the other platforms. The packaging system for Android is a simplicity for the system; it isn't an ideal, and it certainly isn't the secret sauce. If Nokia wants to try and copy Android/IOS it should look to the the development model (actions) of Android and the perceived simplicity of IOS' UI.
