Android Vs Tizen


It's apps that matters.

Samsung is the world's biggest Android device maker by a wide margin, but it has been developing Tizen as an alternative to Google's operating system for quite some time. Tizen gives Samsung more control over its own future, allowing it to rely less on Google and more on its homegrown software. That becomes increasingly important as Google puts more emphasis on its Motorola business and as Samsung tries to set itself apart from all the other handset makers in the market.

 
Tizen's delay has partially been due to app store issues. The group behind the OS has been working feverishly to garner developer support, holding hackathons and other events in recent months. The next such event will be the Tizen Developer Summit in Seoul, South Korea, in mid-November. But even then, the upstart OS is sure to be well behind other new operating systems competing for developer  attention.

Even though Samsung's developer conference predominantly focused on Android, it gave Samsung and its partners a platform to tout Tizen's benefits and convince developers to jump on board.  Samsung and Intel are trying to attract developers to Tizen is by shifting the focus to HTML5 and away from native apps.


 HTML5 first:

HTML5, unlike other codes used for the development of apps, is a Web-based standard, so sophisticated programs can be run using a browser, rather than as a native program on the phone. The major advantage is that, in theory, a developer can build one HTML5 app and have it run on any phone with a good browser. That also means the app isn't stuck in just one platform such as iOS or Android.

"What Samsung is announcing with Tizen is 'HTML5 first' as the means of developing an application".  "That allows them to get the reach of developers who are already building on HTML5." Samsung is developing a "world class and second-to-none" browser for the new operating system.
Also the "responsive design" allows the OS to span various screen sizes and APIs for features like the battery.

Android Vs Tizen:

It uses all the latest UI and web technologies.At start Android did't get good response in market. But after spending some time in market, android gained the popularity. and now the android is the largest selling brand of the year.

Tizen is an open source operating system and the main feature of Tizen is the compatibility on multiple mobile platforms. It means that if you had developed an App in Tizen, you can run this app on Android, IOS and windows mobile. Only a little change is needed in the code. Due to this ability it seems that Tizen is able to snatch smartphone market share.



Samsung has announced to use Tizen in its smartphones, tablets, smart Tv,s. Tizen Notetbooks and Tizen IVI, even in refrigerators. ie. Samsung wants to see this operating system everywhere.

There is going to be a great battle between Tizen and Android. Who is going to win the race? Wait and see.... and be a part of it!! Want to learn more visit Tizen.
