Here is the deal: We all know that the N9 is Maemo6/Harmattan. Thank god it is. Let's just call it the successor to the n900 and treat it that way. Our own personal phone, on OUR own dev OS. We can do what we want on it, like n900, and exploit every capability on it. I am fine with that. I could care less about Android, iOS, etc. Yeah, Mango looks nice, but I can pick up that phone as subsidized as I want through cell services.

I am fine with the n9 coming around now, and Intel announcing this crap. I wanted another Maemo phone, and I got it. I will be more than happy with the n9, b/c again, there will be 1-2 more PR's for the N9, and the rest can be community supported again.

Remember, the n900 was supposed to be the 'last' Maemo config, and that was a lie, now the n9 is the 'last' config. Fine, let's go out with a bang, and have some fun as well. Who knows what will come out in 2 years, it is quite a long time in technology. I say screw it, have fun. This Tizen OS will not come to fruition for a LONG while, not Q1 2012.

This also paves the road for HTC to grab up WebOS which should also be interesting. But that is neither here nor there. N9, good stuff.

Anyone knows what package format Tizen uses? Deb or rpm?

I hope Titzup moves to the html format, it's more standards compliant

Haha, yeah what a joke. Just read that tizen means "two asses" in lebanese.

I also prefer Titzen over Tizen.

I think they've chosen LOL format.

Did anybody here note that
1. MS Windows 8 is also a HTML5 thing, just like Tizen?
2. the real problem with iOS is that true open source (GPL'd software) isn't allowed on it?

If anyone can release a viable mobile device [other than the N900] running one of these Linux-based OS, maybe we'll get to buy one...

...or the project can merge and meander and produce nothing of final value to consumers/developers.

I'm not a fan of iToys, BB, WP7 or what-have-you, but I do grant them one thing: they all exist.
