I don't get all the development... so is this like an html5 player ? linux + some webkit ? what's the novelty ?

Again a bunch of developers working for free on Samsung (20% of SK GDP) plan C mobile phone OS ?

It seems they are moving Bada to Tizen.

The native SDK seems to be the former Bada C++ SDK, which is a brain dead idea as Bada C++ uses a C++ dialect similar to Symbian C++.

The novelty is in supporting native as well as HTML5 apps. So, it's a hybrid between Firefox OS and Android/iOS on the other. I'm only unsure if it is novelty worth having.
