Submission + - Tizen is delayed. Will/Should it ever ship?

Should it ever ship? Hasn't Android and iOS completely cornered the market? Is there any hope for the likes of Tizen, FirefoxOS and Windows on the phone/tablet?

From SmartOS's wiki

"SmartOS is a hypervisor lean enough to run entirely in memory, powerful enough to run as much as you want to throw at it. Provisioning is blindingly fast, thanks to zones and ZFS file system creation."
