1) HTML5 apps should be pretty portable. Any decent browser would want to drive them. Infact, that should eliminate the reason to buy an expensive smartphone.
But that's a problem, isn't it? What's the point of developing yet another platform which will support HTML5, especially if it *only* supports HTML5? If HTML5 apps eventually are found to be just as good as native apps (which I doubt will be the case), then Android/iOS/ZunePhone will support them, and there's no need for Tizen. They aren't even aspiring to create anything that would differentiate them from the existing, increasingly entrenched, market leaders.

Tizen reminds me of something Lewis Black said: "This is the perfect gift for people who disappoint themselves, even in their dreams."
