    Galaxy S4 Running Tizen OS Instead of Android?!?

    This thread is too popular from an advertising standpoint to shut down (frankly). As for your laughable accusations of plagiarism which has me chuckling, it's only further reflection of your total desperation and fear of Tizen. Tizen is only going to get bigger as time goes on, a reality...

    A Tizen S4? Well, no sh$$! That's the whole point of this thread, was it not? Thanks for proving my point. And TizenPhones.com did NOT say the phone would be only for the Asian market. That was your own lame wishful thinking. JK Shin told the WSJ, which he knows is a US paper, that the...

    Galaxy S4 Running Tizen OS Instead of Android?!?

    There will be multiple Tizen phones all in the Galaxy line with notably superior specs than Samsung's legacy Android Galaxy phones. Three of the latter just got announced a few days ago with deliberately dumbed-down specs (and dumb names like "Galaxy Win") in order to position the new Tizen...

    Galaxy S4 Running Tizen OS Instead of Android?!?

    Tizen already has the entire Android app market because it runs all Android apps, plus HTML5, Java, and Tizen's own native apps. Samsung is stealing/co-opting via Tizen the entire already-developed Android app ecosystem from underneath Google, which subverts Android even more than what Facebook...

    Galaxy S4 Running Tizen OS Instead of Android?!?

    If Facebook is already forking/spooning Android and kicking Google Search off the homescreen (this is why Google tanked today), why shouldn't Samsung and everyone else do the same? Facebook's new Facebook Home shows exactly why Andy Rubin got axed: he lost control over Android, which is...

    Galaxy S4 Running Tizen OS Instead of Android?!?

    The friction between the Android and Chrome OS teams was well-known, and it's clear who came out on top--Sundar, not Andy. Heck, they completely gave Android to the Chrome OS boss with Rubin nowhere in sight, which means this wasn't just a simple firing but reflects an entire new strategic...

    Galaxy S4 Running Tizen OS Instead of Android?!?

    Android team and Chrome OS team have been fighting for the past 2 years, according to the Wall Street Journal. Android team didn't even want to allow Chrome browser on Android. But Chrome OS won the war, and Rubin is out with no longer anything to do with Android. The Indian Chrome OS head...

    Rob F1 above is dead on on multiple points. First, Google services mean sh** in Asia. Your beloved Google services don't even exist in the biggest so-called Android market in the world, China. These Asians prefer Baidu, Qihoo, Sohou, etc. and their local services to Google's services, which...

    Galaxy S4 Running Tizen OS Instead of Android?!?

    Google just fired Andy Rubin and merged Android into its Chrome OS division, headed by that ectomorphic Indian guy. Google's plan for Android is just for it to be subsumed into Chrome. Google's lost control of Android, and giving Android over to the Indian Chrome guy is Google's way of saying...

    Galaxy S4 Running Tizen OS Instead of Android?!?

    Samsung has been the muscle behind Android, and without Samsung, there's no other Android phone manufacturer that can compete, not even Google's hapless, profitless Motorola and its stupid-looking X-Phone, which is already a huge disappointment. Without Samsung, Android truly is on life...

    Galaxy S4 Running Tizen OS Instead of Android?!?

    Google's market cap is much lower than Apple's and just slightly higher than Samsung's. It still gets 95% of its revenues from desktop search ads, while it pays Apple a 75% cut of all Google search revenues on iOS devices and Samsung just asked for a similar cut on its devices above the 10% it...

    Galaxy S4 Running Tizen OS Instead of Android?!?

    Everyone's abandoning Android this year. First, Samsung because it's moving to Tizen and wants its own ecosystem more and more to earn Apple-like profits. Second, Google because Android's been a humongous money pit that's only enriched Samsung and it has far greater control over its Chrome OS...

    Galaxy S4 Running Tizen OS Instead of Android?!?

    Galaxy S4's new software/services features like Samsung Hub, S Voice Drive, S Translate, etc. that compete directly with Google apps for screen space and The S4's complete de-emphasis of Android are a precursor to Samsung's ultra-high end Tizen device coming out in August with the S4's TouchWiz...
