At best, this article is overwrought analysis. At worst, it's fabricating unlikely scenarios.<p>Samsung has been diffident regarding Tizen, and quite unwilling to commit a level of resources that might draw Google's attention.<p>NTT Docomo was the most high-walled walled garden, with a Docomo-specific app runtime and other tightly bound ecosystem-technology links. More recently, docomo has had to accomodate Android smartphones. It's likely that Docomo sees Tizen as a platform for defending their garden walls.<p>This is not to take away from the accomplishment. Getting Tizen to market with a top OEM and a top carrier ain't chopped liver. But neither is it a strong indicator of continued success beyond that Samsung will support Tizen as long as Docomo orders handsets. It says nothing about whether US or European carriers will pick up Tizen, or whether any of Intel's plans for a Tizen ecosystem will come to fruition.<p>On top of all that, the question "Will Motorola rise..." is an appendage, without a single link to reality, least of all any indication that Samsung is less committed to growing their Android products.
