    Android has the lion's share of the market, followed by iOS. Windows Phone is dead, Blackberry is circling the drain, Sailfish is an an also ran. Tizen doesn't stand a chance. Samsung sell phones because of Android. Full stop. Tizen may sell some phones, but there is no real ecosystem. Google and iOS are the big players. Really, there is room for only two large players. Tizen is not going to make it, like Windows Phone.
