So true. I remember how big a bummer Android keynotes were when I did lots of mobile dev. "Oh, cool, that'll be fun to use... in three or four years".

Their Java bloat was borderline for a constrained device that is a smartphone, always needed double the memory/cpu/battery than iOS alternative, it couldn't scale down to a smart watch, they are stuck and went with a partnership with SAMSUNG, what a shame
Some people are even saying they are about to fully embrace tizen with Dart & Flutter as a 1st class citizen, some are even saying they'll use it as a foundation for their next gen Android smartphones
Tizen has first class support for .NET in case you missed it.
And it isn't like they are that good with their C coding efforts.

So I am curious what the merge means in practice.

Tizen.NET has surface API for .net, it's totally different
TizenRT is where the core lives, and that is what Google is talking about, coming months will be interesting
Regarding Android, the usual kind of keynote as if everyone would be getting the last Android version.
