Is Tizen based on 'open' +/- API's as well?

Though I haven't seen any hard dates for Tizen phones landing in the US. :/

Tizen was focused on HTML5 too, yeah. However Tizen is being merged with Bada apparently, which is not an HTML-focused platform, so it's not clear what will happen there. Similar merges in the past of mobile OSes with different technology stacks didn't go so well.
