Open Source Mobile OS: The Four Contenders (TechWeek Europe)
TechWeek Europe has a
survey of open-source mobile operating systems competing with Android.
"For Intel, Tizen represents another avenue into the mobile space
where smartphones and tablets are completely dominated by ARM-based chips,
while Samsung merely wants to reduce its dependency on Android – something
that in the past has led it to dabble with Windows Phone handsets in the
past. Tizen looks like another back-up option for Samsung, but its efforts
have gained credibility since it merged its in-house OS Bada with Tizen. If
it goes with a different OS besides Android, Tizen would be it."

Funny how that all target phones when all the heat is on tablets these days.
No word on Plasma Active :-(

I think more "heat" is not on tablets, but indeed on the handsets these days.

The other three contenders are Firefox OS, Jolla's Saifish, and Ubuntu Mobile.
(For some reason I wanted to know this without clicking the article link.)
