Android has been reported as being on its deathbed, at least by some people in the industry.
With Tizen the leading contender for its replacement.
I have a thread/post on the subject somewhere here.
In all of my "talking up" Tizen, there is one thing I haven't mentioned:
Tizen supports its own "App Store" -
Where the applications that people write (using the application build system provided) may be either "For Free" or "For Pay".
Which means a K-Tizen implementation would be replacing the Amazon App Store with something that can put money in the pockets of application developers.
I'll be honest, that attracts the attention of someone like myself once a month when the server bills come due. (I refuse to clutter my Kindle support sites with ads.)
The system uses three levels of "Signing Certificates" -
Each with different (deeper) levels of access to the system.
(I.E: It handles cell 'phone and DRM security issues also.)
Tizen manages the signing process -
And also does the "unit testing" of applications on their auto-builders.
But once an application is signed - it will run on any Tizen device.
Not that I think Silver18 would want to be paid for Komic, or see it running on cell 'phones, tablets, car information systems, etc.
