Tizen OS is coming to challenge Android OS, Linux Foundation, Samsung and Intel are behind Tizen OS

You will find most of the posts in this blog are based on Android (at least till this post). And as the author has promised to deliver the latest news on various technologies and or devices or any guides etc., so here it's quite unfair just to provide the major information category that belongs to Android. Although there are some exceptional posts like some posts on Xbox one intro, Nokia aquisition to Microsoft and SOL solar laptop.

But the author really feels that a very less number of the audience will be interested on the posts like that of Xbox and SOL laptop.

So here comes really an interesting and really a brand new topic and concept of mobile computing.



Now a days you see around yourself and you will find most of the people are using smart-phones (regardless of the presence of their smartness) built on top of Android OS, Apple iOs and Windows OS.

Being the open nature of Android it is widely used in other category of embedded devices also rather than just restricted to some hand-held devices.

Whether you know or not anything, The Android OS is built on top of Linux kernel sources as the heart of the OS because of it's open nature again.

Because of the open nature of Linux kernel, it is used in various Mobile OS platforms* like: MeeGo OS, Firefox OS and all known Android OS.

So here this article is compiled to bring the Tizen OS in-front of you which again built on top of Linux kernel sources and the reason behind this article to be compiled is the big brand names associated with Tizen project: The Linux Foundation (Founder and maintainer of Linux kernel), Samsung (Current market leader of mobile phone market) and Intel (Current market leader in the PC processor and peripherals manufacturer).

Tizen is a Linux-based operating system for devices including smartphones, tablets, in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) devices, and smart TVs.

Tizen provides application development tools based on the JavaScript libraries jQuery and jQuery Mobile. Since version 2.0 a native application framework is also available, based on Open Services Platform from the Bada platform. Bada platform belongs to Samsung which it has merged to Tizen project.

The software development kit (SDK) is live on www.tizen.org which allows developers to use HTML5 and related web technologies to write applications that run on supported devices.

Here is some picture retrieved from an Indonesian blog that shows Tizen running on a Samsung Galaxy S4 and looks much like Android or Apple interface.

Following are some pictures that shows Tizen on Galaxy S4.

After noticing much similarity with the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) it appears to be the Tizen foundation is Bringing Tizen OS solely to challenge Android.

Here I remember one good statement from a bollywood movie GURU:
"Guru bhai se ladhna hai to Guru bhai banke ladho"

Here I am not going to explain much about Tizen OS and the Tizen foundation because the information is already populated on the respective website who maintains this project.

Please see the below reference section to get the links which will further maximize your knowledge on Tizen OS if at all you are interested on this.
