[Tizen Developer Conference] Will Samsung show a device running on Tizen?
The last few week it was quiet around Tizen, the platform where Intel and Samsung are working on. In Februari the Tizen Association announced that the platform has reached the beta stage. In March we saw a video where the guys from Cybercomm were playing with the gallery and we have to say it was pretty awesome. Later in March we say that a device running on Tizen 1.0 had made a visit to HTML5test.com and that it received a remarkable score of 363 points, today we saw on the website that Tizen has even improved their score, now they have 405 points! These scores are really impressive and keep in mind that Intel and Samsung are still working on version 1.0!
A few days ago we received information that there will be a Tizen Developer Conference from 7 till 9 May in San Francisco.
On the website Tizen.org you’ll find the schedule of events, which is including a full list with sessions during the conference. On the first day you’ll see that will be a Tech Showcase and there will be some demos from partners. Maybe Samsung will show a device running on Tizen… What do you think?
This is good news, I think we have prepared a samsung on Tizen surprise, I think we are preparing to avoid the mistakes made with Limo OS, as the new idea has more support and more maturity.

They should concentrate on Arabic ICS for the S II than bringing a new OS FTW!

Yea, because Samsung doesn’t have separate teams working ons separate projects. All employees just work on Android, right?
Stop bitching about off-topic bs.

Wave will never run on Tizen. All Samsung needs to do is make a good Tizen phone. But remember: This time is not gonna be a cheap phone like Wave.

Not to start a flame war here (really, please be gentle)
But the reason I risked buying a Bada phone in the first place was the excellent hardware AND the “cheap” price of the Wave
I guess the joke’s on me for not buying yet another middle-range hardware running the [FREE] Android for a premium price…

You can see in the previous post
Samsung is proud of bada sales….with bada it become no.1 mobile phone maker
But i guess this won’t last for another year….Wake up Samsung….You got angry customers right here who won’t pay for another Samsung phone in such situation
Next step must be taken quickly….merge bada with Tizen….Open Source bada 3.0….Renew bada trademark
Best Regards

Samsung don’t care about customers. Their policy is “Buy our phone and then piss off.” SGS3 will be hardware monster but will have poor software same as SGS2. Iphone is completely opposite. Iphone’s hardware is poor but it’s OS runs same fast as best samsung’s phone. Sammy should develop monster OS for his monster hardware and update it more frequently.

On a slightly unrelated note, Samsung will need to push the pause button on a few things to sharpen their focus before even thinking about wasting their time on another open OS push. Leading on Android’s surge right now and starting to look feeble with too many sets (not overall but NA carrier variants’ problem) and ridiculous Android powered PMPs (seriously… PMPs???). My suggestions are:- 1. Hold out on any planned WP 7.5 models until Win 8. Not worth the R&D wastage imo since it’s Nokia that obviously hold the leverage and 2. stop saturating the Android line if you can’t wield the dev power for timelier updates.
Tizen is only a good hedge if they’d get back all of the ill fated Meego disgruntled yet hardcore people to get in line and it won’t be easg. They won’t care about Samsung’s current status as the world’s largest handphone maker…remember that was what Nokia were before they wimped out on Meego.

Samsung really needs to jump start Tizen with high-end devices. Truthfully, I hope it doesn’t end up like Bada which is now reserved for only middle to low end devices. I saw some hope in Bada initially when it launched with Wave I, which back in the days qualified as a high-end device but with a low price, but since seeing Bada basically stuck with single core spec for the last two years and only a few percent market share I have no idea why Samsung bothered to develop it in the first place. May be Bada was more for experiment and testing and Samsung learned some good lessons with it and won’t make the same mistake again with Tizen.

Yeah, quite the success scenario, isn’t it ?
Unfortunately we ended up being their unpaid beta testers for Bada…
No, no, let me rephrase that : We ended up PAYING to be the test subjects for their little experiment !!
I do know that I actually got a pretty awesome feature phone for the price of a low-end smart phone, but it’s not what they were selling, and it’s NOT what I wanted to buy !

Awesomely said man,you are absolutely right….
This is real truth which we are facing now(Bada Users).
If Samsung wants to do experiments,don’t do it with customers.
don’t sell Feature Phone as a “SmartPhone”.
If they want to launch Tizen OS independently ,then that will be again experiment which will last for another 2 years.But,Bada users are suffering from that. as Most of their devs are working on Tizen and not on providing existing cutomer Bugfree Bada 2.0.
Bada 2.0 has a potential and If they really wants to do good with Bada and LOYAL Bada users,Merge Tizen with Bada for BADA 3.0 and provide it for Wave 1,2,3 users.
Thanks.

I don’t want Tizen, I just care about when will Bada 2.0 arrive Hong Kong. China already had 2 releases but still none for Hong Kong. I am not requesting new taste of Spaghetti or Pizza (Bada 3.0 or Tizen or whatever), I just wanna a fresh white bread (Bada 2.0)!!!

Here at PROGmaatic, we are working on two enterprise applications to be included in the next Tizen device. Apparently the beta SDK lacks several major features like hooking camera directly from application.
But, one thing for sure, we are loving the SDK. Its so easy to develop in Tizen
