In what ways might alternate mobile OSes such as Ubuntu, Firefox OS and Tizen work together or share common technologies (in order to benefit consumers and each other)?

I just about asked "But what if she got pregnant in one and then a month later the other?" but remembered that after an ovary is fertilized, the body immediately sends out the hormonal signal to close up shop.

I find it fascinating that in order for this (the twins) to happen, she would have to have sex in both vaginas separately within a short period. Also, from a purely biologically logistical standpoint, this would probably be the easiest way for a woman to have twins from two separate fathers.

FYI, the kickstarter units are supposed to ship out in February and I think they plan to start selling to consumers soon after.

Also, it apparently supports the Chromecast 1.0 protocol out of the box and they've said will support 2.0 with a fairly simple recompile of one's app. So it sounds as though it should be pretty straight-forward to support it in an app.

(Additionally, because it runs a full OS, you can run apps/overlays and have two way communication between controlling devices - potentially making for some cool experiences.)

Edit: Perhaps I should add the thought that because they are just beginning, they are probably looking for additional app developers and you might be able to be displayed somewhere on the site as a "supported" or recommended app.
