Developer device running Tizen OS gets hands-on treatment - read the full textWe have been hearing about Tizen for quite a while now but The Handheld Blog has gotten some hands-on time with a developer unit running the OS. At first glance Tizen looks quite familiar to the TouchWiz implementation on Android but there are enough difference to set the two apart...

Dont even think about comparing this touchwiz ripoff with my beloved meego.

This, the way it looks now is a touchwiz successor, not the meego one.

Its an insult to how beautiful meego was to compare this s**t with it.

Intel + OS = fail
Samsung + OS = fail
Now Intel + Samsung making an OS smells like a total fail.

Less number of enthusiasts for Tizen thread?? bit surprising. I guess Samsung should adopt agressive marketing / advertising strategies in future for tizen.

Ofcourse, it depends if samsung aims to sell high end devices or mid range.

woah! I hate to say it, but the idea almost seems like a rip-off of meego. Well, it was supposed to be a continuation of it, so perhaps, maybe "inspired by" meego. But it still seems like a ripoff.
Originality, please, and creativity. I understand your innovation, but it involves a lot of copying, apart from the adding and improving.
First, it was Apple's design, and now this?
Bad Sammy, bad... And ugly too. Please, don't make yourself look more and more like a copycat... Imho... :(

Even if Samsung finish this "Tizen", everyone who own/ed Wave with Bada, will know now, that nothing is good from Samsung! As a Wave ovner (s8500) I am really disappointed by everything from Samsung.

Oh Bada, how I won't miss you.

I will feel deeply sorry for anyone who buys one of these phones with the DISGUSTING Tizen OS. I mean, it looks worse than Bada already.

Although, I won't feel that sorry for them, because they should be doing their research, I did my research but Bada wasn't established yet and I thought, hey, maybe it'll be OK.

I was wrong.

First impression?! Ishit! Bada + Meego should be something fresh/swipe/user-friendly...this looks some kind annoying...but let's say is just "alpha" version....
