Tizen ( /ˈtaɪzɛn/ ) is a Linux -based
operating system for devices—
including smartphones, tablets , in-
vehicle infotainment (IVI) devices,
smart TVs , and smart cameras. Its
licensing model involves software
that uses a variety of open source
licenses that may be incompatible
(see Licensing model, below)—and a
proprietary SDK. It aims to offer a
consistent user experience across
devices. Tizen is a project within the
Linux Foundation and is governed by
a Technical Steering Group (TSG)
composed of Samsung and Intel
among others.
The Tizen Association formed to
guide the industry role of Tizen,
including requirements gathering,
identifying and facilitating service
models, and overall industry
marketing and education.
Members of the Tizen Association
represent every major sector of the
mobility industry and every region of
the world. Current members include
operators, OEMs and computing
leaders: Fujitsu, Huawei, Intel
Corporation, KT, NEC CASIO Mobile
Communications, NTT DOCOMO,
Orange, Panasonic Mobile
Communications, Samsung, SK
Telecom, Sprint and Vodafone.
While the Tizen Association decides
what needs to be done in Tizen, the
Technical Steering Group determines
what code is actually incorporated
into the operating system to
accomplish those goals. Tizen roots
back to the Samsung Linux Platform
(SLP) and the LiMo Project and
recently, Samsung merged its
homegrown Bada project into Tizen.
The first week of October 2013,
Samsung's NX300M smart camera
became the first consumer product
based on Tizen; it was sold in South
Korea for a month before its OS was
revealed at the Tizen Developer
Summit, then became
available for pre-order in the US in
early 2014 with a release date of
March 1. The first Tizen tablet was
announced by Systena in June 2013,
a 10" quad-core ARM with 1920x1200
resolution that was eventually
shipped in late October 2013 as part
of a development kit exclusive to
Japan. The Samsung Gear
2 smartwatch, announced a day
before MWC 2014 , is slated to be
Tizen's first smartwatch, launching
in April 2014. The Samsung ZEQ
9000 will be the first commercially
available smartphone running the
operating system.
