Tizen OS comes Q1 2012
New Tizen OS is exit route for Samsung and others from Android?
Sep 28 2011, 2:09am CDT | by Luigi Lugmayr
The LiMo Foundation and the Linux Foundation announced a new open source OS called Tizen. Tizen is a standards-based, cross-architecture software platform which supports multiple device categories including smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, netbooks and in-vehicle infotainment systems. The initial release of Tizen is targeted for Q1 2012, enabling first devices to come to market in mid-2012.
Tizen combines the best open source technologies from LiMo and the Linux Foundation and adds a robust and flexible standards-based HTML5 and WAC web development environment within which device-independent applications can be produced efficiently for unconstrained cross-platform deployment. This approach leverages the robustness and flexibility of HTML5 which is rapidly emerging as a preferred application environment for mobile applications and the broad carrier support of the Wholesale Applications Community (WAC). Tizen additionally carries a state-of-the-art reference user interface enabling the creation of highly attractive and innovative user experience that can be further customized by operators and manufacturers.
“LiMo Foundation views Tizen as a well-timed step change which unites major mobile Linux proponents within a renewed ecosystem with an open web vision of application development which will help device vendors to innovate through software and liberalize access to consumers for developers and service providers,” said Morgan Gillis, Executive Director of LiMo Foundation. “LiMo will maintain its focus on providing the industry with a broadly backed vendor- and service-neutral ecosystem grounded in the spirit of open and unconstrained opportunity that is embodied by Linux.”

It was clear that device makers are not just sitting around after Google bought Motorola. Android has become an issue for them as Motorola is now an "insider." If Tizen will succeed is hard to say. Samsung is also still pushing its Bada OS, which is not quite understandable for me. Microsoft is of course an option for handset makers to replace Android, but a real cross platform OS would be best for companies like Samsung that spawn the complete spectrum of consumer electronics.
