Tizen, against Android and iOS

Why this new mobile operating system?

We can say another OS. But in addition to Tizen replacing two, we also see the decline of Symbian, webOS, a lack of interest in QNX, which practically reduces the number to four.

Tizen Kane, it is terrific!

The creation of Intel Tizen has deep motives: the loss of a partner, Nokia, who turned to Microsoft, and the interest of new partners who are disappointed with Android, but do not want a system developed for Nokia and its Qt platform.

Teesen 1.0

The first stable version provides the following features:

This first version, which lacks attractiveness, can be tested at a local post using the emulator included in the SDK for developer.tizen.org download, or easier using a browser. Development tools are already available in the SDK.

History

Moblin was created by Intel in 2007.
Maemo is also a Debian-based smartphone system released by Nokia in 2005. In 2009, it moves to Wednesday Qt. Several Nokia mobile devices have used this system.
In February 2010, Intel and Nokia joined forces and created Meego, which is a merger of Moblin and Maemo. SCC is surrendered in favor of Qt.
Only one smartphone will use this system - Nokia N9.

After actually breaking the partnership with Nokia, which turned to Windows Phone, Intel finds a new major partner among mobile device manufacturers - Samsung.
Embarrassed by lawsuits over Apple's Android pseudo-patents that its government encouraged, the firm needs a new operating system. With many other manufacturers, it supports the Tizen system.

Much has happened behind the scenes, as Tizen also has support for the Linux Foundation, which will host the project and combine it with its own LiMo system.

Thiesen replaced Badu

Samsung's Bada system (Bada means "ocean" in Korean) is based on choosing Linux or RTOS (with BSD code), but Samsung announced it was working to merge it with Tizen instead. This means that applications made for Bada, with its SDK, will also work under a teaser. The SDK itself will be replaced or combined with the Tizen software. Bada SDK has such interesting features as Webkit integration into a native application...

But it turns out that Bada already has a certain audience in the world market: it accounts for 2% of the OS of smartphones used... We can assume that this is Tizen's market share if users can update their mobile phone using this system... The new OS will be able to run native Bada applications, and will add a huge set of HTML applications 5 to them.

In June 2012, Samsung became a member of the board of directors of the Linux Foundation. For this, the company must pay 500 thousand dollars a year. She joined IBM, Intel, Oracle, Fujitsu, Nec and others. Google is only a member of Gold. The point of this news is that it confirms Samsung's involvement in Linux-based Tizen, as well as Android. She may have other Linux-based projects, but her involvement with Tizen is obvious.

Education

Tizen, developed by Intel and Nokia, was based on Qt. Samsung has replaced the graphical interface with EFL (Enlightenment Foundation Libraries), the code of which is especially insecure (completely pointer-based and heavily uses the strcpy! Function).

Tizen moves to .NET

In 2016, Tizen turned to .NET core for its applications, which allows them to be portable and run on Android or Tizen. There is an extension to Visual Studio for Tizen.

Thiesen v. Meego

What has changed between Tizen and Meego justifying the new name (beyond the merger with LiMo)?

Tizen uses HTML 5 as its main interface, and this is not only a tag language, but also the number of APIs made by Intel, Mozilla and many other publishers to use the capabilities of all existing hardware.
These APIs save the programmer from using their own libraries for each type of hardware, as was the case with Meego. Programming is simplified.
But if you go to HTML 5, what will happen to Qt?

One of the reasons for creating Tizen for Intel (as well as for manufacturers) was the exemption from Qt, a Nokia-specific tool that was the basis of the Meego interface. However, it will still run on Tizen, even if not built-in by default. In the worst case, you can contact a third-party publisher.
In fact, it would be necessary for Linux applications to work, possibly with recompiling, for the system to offer an alternative to Windows 8.

At the same time, WAC, a tool developed by Intel for interacting with applications with all equipment, will become a privileged framework.

At a more technical level, Tizen should take over the Meego file system, Linux and its drivers and other intermediate tools.
But Meego apps won't be compatible, primarily because Qt isn't built into Tizen. However, third parties are working on the implementation of Qt on Tizen.

Teesen vs. Windows 8

Tizen is a competitor to Android and iOS, but goes further. Thiesen wants to be versatile and will work for:

It can be seen that it will also be a competitor to Windows 8, at least on tablets and a netbook. But why should the manufacturer choose Tizen over Windows?

Unlike what happens on office software such as Office, Photoshop, etc., Microsoft with the Metro interface no longer has the advantage of mandatory compatibility. We no longer need to use Windows for apps as we are starting from scratch with this new platform. Developers can carry them on both Tizen and Windows effortlessly.
If the information that was filtered is proven, Microsoft should take the fluff on applications running on Metro, all of which will have to be downloaded to its App Store.
And the percentage they are talking about is 30%. Publishers will be hesitant to give Microsoft 30% of their revenue.

He can convey this for Metro what happened for IBM with MCA, which was supposed to be the successor to ISA (long before PCI): all partners can turn to a free system that offers the same benefits.

Teesen vs. Android

Android is also based on syteme Linux and open-source, in some versions at least. In addition to the backend, this is essentially a Java device. Native applications are written in this language and run on the Dalvik virtual machine.

Android faces claims for infringement of "patents," very dubious in practice, but recognized by the American government, from Oracle for Java, Apple and Microsoft.
In addition, manufacturers fear that Google, now owning Motorola, may prefer its own smartphones. They will compete with the company that supplies them with its operating system.
The fee they don't pay Google to use it, they pay Microsoft.
So many reasons that might push them to Theesen.

Similar or additional projects...

These other systems may replace the system supplied with the mobile, or possibly the mobile without the system.
