I wonder if all of the Patent lawsuits against Android influenced Nokia's decision to abandon their mobile O.S. , and for that matter if it played a role in HP shutting down Web O.S. ?
With all of Apple's and Microsoft's vague patent "War chests" sitting around waiting for a competitor to snag a bit of market share, I think I would be wary to invest in developing a mobile O.S. myself.
like Peter Pan, the linux hackers at Intel never deliver. When something starts to get close to the date of promised product, *poof*, a new focus, a new name, and a new explanation. Continuing employment for a bunch of idealistic programmers without ever having to deliver a product.
Wonder when management at Intel will figure out that they're being taken for a ride?

The logo clearly says Tizen, but is referred to in the article as Tinzen? Sorry if I'm missing something. =)Venya - Wednesday, September 28, 2011 - link
Maybe it was corrected in article title, but article still have "TinZen" in text for 6 times and in keywords.Impulses - Wednesday, September 28, 2011 - link
Sooo, third time's the charm? Highly unlikely.Tizen sounds better imo, like citizen but shortened. Tin Zen sounds like, well, TinZen. Not bronze or platinum zen, but tin. :p

Ok, aside from the typos and possible criticisms of Open Source this represents another option for an OS.diathesisi - Wednesday, September 28, 2011 - link
The body typos are gone, but the article is still tagged 'tinzen'.JarredWalton - Wednesday, September 28, 2011 - link

Intel should buy WebOS and open source it instead.ender707 - Wednesday, September 28, 2011 - link
