I've heard enlightenment was used in some mobile OS ( i think it was tizen but i'm not sure) and that it didn't end very well, because the oS manufacturer ended up bloating the os to death. Anyone with more info on that ?
Samsung paid people to contribute to Enlightenment and I think some of the libraries might have ended up in Bada.
Rasterman loved demoing Enlightenment mobile and I think you could run it on some old-school OSS distributions like OpenEmbedded on Treo and on the Freerunner, but I don't think it ever shipped with a device.
I don't think this is true bro. Android has taken over the world really means that Samsung has thrown 900 handsets at the market running Android. They want to home everything back in on themselves. Tizen is delayed but I seriously doubt that whatever new high-end Samsung phones drop, will have a hard time running whatever they've turned E into. I'm seriously looking forward to this.
I'd say your repeating a rumor. Impossible to tell until they release something, Samsung and Intel makes for one hell of a strong foundation for getting something besides Android off the ground.
There's no real reason for Samsung's success, though, other than lucky timing, some good pricing, and more recently, name recognition. Samsung makes decent phones but they're not particularly better than anybody else, and there are tons of other good Android phone manufacturers; Samsung could very easily be supplanted.
Moreover, Samsung has never been great at software. If they take over the bulk of their OS development, that may not bode well for the quality of the result.
If Samsung decides to strike out on their own without the support of the Android ecosystem, they could be in for a very rude awakening...
