These days ago the Tizen developer conference took place in South Korea and we were able to meet Tizen 2.2.1 and also Tizen 3.0, the new version of the Samsung system that will not see the light until the third quarter of next year. But not only that, but the South Korean company announced that they already had the first device with Tizen as the operating system, the Samsung NX300M, a mirrorless camera that will be sold exclusively in the South Korean market.
Well, while we continue to wait for Samsung to launch the first wave of smartphones with Tizen inside them as well as the first Smart TVs with this system, which have already been confirmed by the company itself, we have found out thanks to Unwiredview that the South Korean company together with Intel would be working to cooperate with big automakers like Toyota, Jaguar o Country Rover in order of integrate the Tizen operating system in cars.
There are plans to expand Tizen to a multitude of devices
According to comments Mark scarpness, Director of Systems Engineering at Intel's Open Source Technology Center, the main reason companies would have chosen Tizen is because it is an open platform with great scalability. They are currently cooperating with Toyota and Jaguar on IVI and consider that Tizen is an ideal platform to be incorporated into a multitude of devices, both televisions, cameras, mobile devices and even in cars.
Therefore, to increase its expansion, Tizen 3.0, the version officially announced yesterday at the Tizen developer conference, can be used in devices with smaller RAM and storage space, so that it can be used in devices with more modest characteristics.
Both Intel and Samsung are aware that they don't have much of a chance to change today's smartphone market when it comes to operating systems, which is clearly dominated by Google's Android and Apple's iOS. However, it is very likely that in the rest of the aforementioned electronic devices and devices it is easier for them to open a gap and consolidate themselves as a great operating system.
What would you think of having cars with integrated Tizen in the future?
