Following todays announcement of the cross Patent deal between Samsung and Google, Russian blogger Eldar Murtazin has taken to Twitter to let people know his take on this news. Yes, we have been here previously with Eldar claiming Tizen is a dead end OS, but at least he is consistent with his views.
Samsung and Google sign global patent license for 10 years from now. That's mean a lot for market. Read 5 things about it 🙂

Below are the further 5 Tweets where Eldar elaborated on the above Tweet:
1. Samsung get not only patents from Google but also secure own development. More and more Google play edition smarts from Sammy

2. Samsung will stop developing Tizen for smartphones, that's own decision, Google doesn't care about it. TouchWiz aren't in focus

3. TouchWiz will evolve in extra features – some of them will be an integral part of future android versions. Others will get it for $

4. Google won't be competitor in hardware for Samsung or any other brand. Moto is under question in that landscape. They will be reprofile

5. Android will be closed/restricted from use by some companies like Microsoft – looks like Normandy will be killed by google/Samsung

From the recent announcements that NTT DoCoMo have put their Tizen Plans on Hold and Samsung has delayed the release of Tizen once again, it is easy to read more into these tweets at this stage.
Hopefully with the Tizen Association Press event being held in Barcelona on 23rd February 2014 we can learn more.
