Hi Olivier As usual, I can't speak for Samsung products, but I can understand a company having a strategy of multiple OS. We at Intel do that: we support Linux (including Tizen and Android), Windows, OS X and even Solaris. Besides, the choice for an OS for a product should be based on technical factors, not corporate decisions. If this Samsung product benefited more from Android than from Tizen, why not? Also note we don't know when the decision was made: maybe at the time the product started being developed, Tizen was definitely not suitable. This happened for the first Samsung smartwatch, remember? The Galaxy Gear came with Android and was later updated to use Tizen. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center _______________________________________________ General mailing list General@lists.tizen.org https://lists.tizen.org/listinfo/general
