Samsung to cut out Google middleman with own developers? conference

I've never thought Android's approach is sustainable. The only company performing with it is Samsung and they deserve the credit for being the dominant force behind Android.

It's not impressive to have large marketshare when you give something away for free. Obviously Android has been touted as a big factor in BBs struggles. Any hit to Android could definitely help BB and android has a lot of weaknesses. The number one performer and driver of the platform Samsung has slowly been distancing themselves from Android. This could prove devastating to android since no other OEM has proven they and sustainable business with it.

BB is showing how hard it can be to transition platforms. Its looking more and more like companies will have to or are already taking strides to move away from Android. It'll be interesting to see if the media and cess pool ;) other forums treat the competition the same way they treat BB.

If Samsung produces a flagship Tizen device would anyone here buy it? Do you think Samsung is thinking of moving father away from Android or just giving themselves more control? Does anyone think this is a move in reaction to the possibility of a chromephone or goog giving preferential treatment to Moto (if I was a goog investor I'd be pretty upset with their so far worthless acquisition of a money-losing hardware company)? Do people think Tizens phones could be successful? Do android apps even matter? Does android even fundamentally matter outside of tech-geek hobbyists who needed a platform to tinker with or as up until now the only viable option for carriers to push outside of apple?
