Tizen - Samsung's 'OS of Everything'

Tizen is a new Operating System initiative by Intel and Samsung. It can be seen as a replacement for MeeGo based on more modern and open Standards such as HTML5 and Wholesale Applications Community (WAC). Tizen Apps will be created with the latest and most versatile standards. The System will run across a wide spectrum of devices, including smartphones, tablets, smart-TVs, netbooks and in-car infotainment systems. Computer Hardware brands like Asus and Acer have already joined the Tizen movement, other smartphone makers like HTC are expected to join.



Tizen is a Linux-based OS,its not only about phone,Tizen is also about cars, TVs, home automation, wearables, and more.

The plan now is to hitch Tizen – which has struggled to gain a foothold, or even a foot in the door, of the smartphone market – to that latest buzzword du jour, the Internet of Things.

"So far, we've created three profiles for mobile, wearables, and cars," said Intel's Imad Sousou, co-chair of the Tizen Steering Group, during Tuesday morning's keynote. "Over the next few months we are working on creating another three profiles for TVs, cameras, and home appliances."
