i disagree. it is general purpose. thinking a phone is a higly special device
that needs a "mobile os" is the line of thought companies like nokia
maintained with symbian, and i know the japanese companies maintained you need
to use tron, and linux can never work as a phone os, because phones are so
special. guess where we are today? otherwise give up on tizen pc. never aspire
to making it. it has no point. use tizen mobile instead.

but that is moot really. in the end we produce an os we never even use
ourselves, because we, as developers avoid it as we just can't do our work on
it. fantastic. we ask users to use an os we shun. not a great way to make
friends and allies or build community :)
