Tizen is a free and open source Mobile Operating system based on Linux. Tizen’s software framework for third-party developers is based on web standards such as HTML5 and web technologies WAC. It has the backing of Linux foundation with development is led by companies gathered around Tizen Association, which is a not-for-profit consortium steered by a Board of Directors composed of Huawei, Intel, Panasonic, Samsung, Sprint, and Vodafone.
This OS is interesting because it is designed for several devices including smartphones, tablets, in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) devices, and smart TVs. Furthermore, Tizen supports HTML5 applications this means that it can run Firefox OS, WebOS and Ubuntu Touch programs without a browser.
Samsung plans to ship its first Tizen phone no later than September. However, I don’t think that this release will be a successful. In fact, this Operating System is still in its fancy: Tiizen is not ergonomic and do not have a lot of applications.
