Samsung: Tizen will be our main operating system
Samsung Electronics has ambitious plans for the open source operating system Tizen and will make great efforts to ensure that Tizen it has become central to the company's mobile gadgets, while the dependence on Google Android company would like to reduce . In an interview with Cnet Korea said John Kay, Shin, head of Samsung Electronics. According to him, the system for Samsung Tizen - it is something more than a "home" or a forced draft alternative Android. He noted that while Tizen is optimized for smartphones and tablets, but in the end, this OS can be applied for use in a wide variety of electronic devices, up to the car. CEO Samsung Electronics said that now in the electronic industry has historically unprecedented convergence, where one application can run on your phone and on the TV and on the car.
"Modern consumers perceive convergence, as a matter of course. convergence between devices - is One of the strengths of Samsung in the market. We have many devices that can work with each other, "- says Sheen. Note that, although formally Tizen and is a vendor-and platform-independent, the main architects of development standards are Tizen Samsung and intel. Last wide display Tizen-compliant products was at Mobile World Congress in February. Samsung's commitment to Tizen is due to the large number of controls is what the company has over Android. And while today it is Android-based device the main generator of profits between Google and Samsung have had some friction with the development of Android. Shin said that unlike Android, Tizen system is created in such a way that the operating system is equally well suited for use in vehicles televisions and portable devices.
He noted that Samsung and Intel is already working on next tizen-projects in which the use of the OS and its applications focused on cars. However, Shin said that Samsung is realistic about the automotive industry, and expects the first cars with Tizen, at best, will be at the end of 2015. Earlier in the industry, there were rumors that Apple allows iOS licensing car manufacturers. Ceychas in varying degrees to the Tizen connected companies such as Intel, Samsung, Verizon Wireless, Vodafone and other companies who are in Limo Foundation. Tizen is now formally under the direct control of Intel and Samsung.
These companies say that around Tizen now less hype than around Android, but its structure Tizen not worse, and on the possibilities of customization is even better than Android. Tizen itself emerged as a reaction in response to the growing influence of Android. Both of these operating systems based on the Linux kernel, and both use the opportunity HTML5, allowing end communications service providers or sellers of vehicles to make out the look of the operating system on your own.
Now, many manufacturers of smartphones and mobile operators are considering Tizen as the most credible alternative to the open Android, and Intel is making a bet on Tizen also to try to use it to do what it could not do with Android - mobile to promote their hardware design and finally reach the large market of mobile solutions. Experts say that in the news headlines Tizen will flicker a few more months, when deliveries will start the demo units at its base. Until the end of this year Tizen-device will have to appear in the final market. Japanese operator NTT Docomo has already promised to sell smart phones with Tizen. Korean Samsung also promises this year to release the first device based on Tizen this year.
