Samsung will develop Tizen as a platform for smart homes and preparing a new flagship Bashny.Net

Tizen (pronounced "Theisen") - an open operating system kernel-based Linux, designed for a wide range of devices, including smartphones, Internet tablets, Computers, automotive infotainment systems, "smart" TVs and digital cameras , develop and manage such corporations like Intel and Samsung, members of the Technical Steering Group (TSG), and supported by the Linux Foundation and Tizen Association. blockquote> And the actual excerpt from the новости :

Mr. Hong said that Samsung is currently investing more and more resources into creating its own ecosystem for smartphones and other products of the company, including tablets, TVs and consumer electronics. "We will work with a variety of manufacturers as well as suppliers of solutions and components for the expansion of our presence in the market of" smart home "," - he added. Blockquote> Thus, Samsung is not going to step on a rake "Nokia" in his time to abandon its OS, and now painfully untwisting Windows Phone, and takes the next big step: combines all the home gadgets - smartphones, tablets, home appliances - by a single platform.

This move was not only predictable, but expected - about a year ago I published a post & quot; Waiting Android for consumer electronics & quot ; inspired just experiments with Samsung refrigerator on Android:

9,708,563



The decision to link appliances not the fruit essences like special home servers, and using an existing computer center at hand and the remote control in one person as a smartphone or tablet - it seemed so obvious that it was just a question - why so long?

Samsung said it will release mobile solutions and other electronics-based Tizen as soon as possible. However, as reported, the company postponed the launch because of poor market conditions . Blockquote> Presumably, the company did not feel confident enough to contrive a coup, which is more suitable level of ambition Apple, Google or Microsoft. And the monitoring of the development of the iron - I mean tablets and smartphones Galaxy - casts doubt on the fact that under their forces in the foreseeable future to create an OS that the mobile market really oust Android or iOS.

But here's the market for smart homes is really a breakthrough event. Exit at him giant Samsung level means creating it anew. Until now, this theme has remained a plaything for the rich or the geeks - and become a daily reality of millions of users who do not have to buy anything out of what they have not been used to begin to manage consumer electronics to the next level.

However, all they have to buy, will have to wear the label Samsung. And it can be a particular problem for the future of the world capture. It would be interesting to know why still Tizen - because more suitable platform capabilities, or "Samsung" just tired to feed someone else's child?

But their actions can coerce Apple and Google to create their own alliances with manufacturers of consumer electronics - and then the coup and in fact not far off.

P.S. On the title picture post - leaked in January render Tizen-smartphone Samsung ZEQ 9000. According to the source, it will have 4, 8-inch display with a resolution of 1280x720 pixels and a quad-core processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 800. Perhaps this will be the flagship on Tizen, which Samsung promises to show in this quarter. Behind him Koreans show promise and a model of the average price.
