"why bother?". just because someone slaps open onto something doesn't make it open source friendly/compatible? it certainly doesn't belong in tizen. if some specific oem feels they want to ship it with their products - great, though i really don't see this as being a positive thing to ship considering it being a closed binary blob. not to mention it is all about avoiding your carrier detecting you are using tethering and wanting to charge you more or block you (not all telcos do this). shipping software that actively thwarts what your customers (if you are an oem making devices, your customers buying the bulk of your products are telcos) want to do is a great way of hurting your relationships with them and basically losing lots of sales. not a smart move. > Cheers, > Olivier > > > On Wed, Sep 3, 2014 at 4:32 AM, Olivier Nyssen <[email protected]> wrote: > > > When Samsung (or Intel) asks something, companies usually abide. > > The alternative is to buy the Open Garden company: the personnel has some > > know-how I suppose ;) > > > > Cheers, > > Olivier > > > > > > On Wed, Sep 3, 2014 at 4:19 AM, Ashiq Nazir <[email protected]> wrote: > > > >> Without us having Tizen devices like a Smartphone, which most users would > >> use as a data gateway, I can't see why Open Garden would develop a Tizen > >> App? > >> > >> Cheers > >> > >> Ash. > >> -- > >> Ashiq Nazir > >> www.TizenExperts.com > >> [email protected] > >> > >> > >> On 3 Sep 2014, at 3:02, Olivier Nyssen wrote: > >> > >> No, basically it gives you internet through mesh networking. > >>> They seem to have some problems with Android, could work like a charm on > >>> a > >>> mobile HTML5 system like Tizen. > >>> > >>> From the Partners page: > >>> OEM and Device manufacturers: Gain competitive advantages and increase > >>> market differentiation.
