Samsung confirms it will release “competitive Tizen devices” this year

Exactly. There's not much room left for 'improvement' which can be called a real innovation. Not anyone's at fault here.

There is room for innovation, but it takes huge efforts and resources and requires the kind of know how which is not SS's strength right now.

I remember it was said that about 20millions dollars are spent on Tizen a year, that's just pale against hundreds of millions Google spends on Android.

Okay.. we can also say it that way.

I beg to differ... However perfect one may be, there is still room for improvement...

Just to point out there is somewhat of a flaw in that statement: if there is no real room left for "improvement" then there wouldn't be a need for Android to keep updating. I mean there is already talk about Android 5.0. I think people say those sorts of things without realizing there is indeed room for improvement. Just wait til next year when you will say how much better Android 5.2 is than Android 5.0 or even Android 4.2. The truth of the matter is that just because you don't see anything left to innovate does not mean the developers see the same thing.

lol everybody keeps dissing on that post. Didn't you all see the word 'much'? This is REALLY tough time for someone to start from scratch. Android, iOS and WP (maybe BB10) are so advanced already, with all the research done which has took billions of dollars.

Don't you think they've already patented much of the innovations? I just said that it's really hard now, and new players have little chance of success.

Yes, they've patented a lot of innovations, but according to you there is a limit to innovation when, in reality, there isn't. The truth of the matter is there are probably ideas out there that you or I could never even have thought of that may be used in future OS'. I was highly impressed with the video showcasing the new Ubuntu for phones. I would just wait and see how this turns out.

Also, Samsung has patented several OS-related innovations that will most likely be used in Tizen. It has the backing of Samsung and Intel which is pretty significant. Not to mention it has the support of Sprint. (Also, I didn't thumbs you down).

It won't.

SS software capabilities are nowhere near Google's, and Google spends hundreds of millions of dollars every year to develop Android.

Will SS spend billions dollars to develop Tizen, I hope they will but I think they won't.

w/o massive investment Tizen cannot compete, and Tizen phone will be like Bada or Activ S, an Android phone recycled with an unpolished different OS.

i bet ya its gonna be revamped Bada OS and nothing special... may be voip service activated for this one and thats it! i know samsung from a long time and thats the most they can do for their own os. love the "Android side of samsung" but not the others cause it bitterly fails in other OSs...

My 2 cents on MS winning silver medal. Android gold for sure, iOS might suffer.

11. timtimity posted on 03 Jan 2013, 10:43 3 0

Agreed. Ultimately it might not be as successful as Android, iOS and Windows but another competitor on the scene helps keep everyone on their toes.

Hope it will be a viable choice in two years plus Intel, Samsung better arm to the teeths with two words, patents and apps in appstore.

This is the thing that Samsung wants to... Trying to taunt Apple... In order to boost tizen sales

In this era... Lawsuits fee = advertising fee :)

The open and close functions look fast but that scrolling was horrendous.

Not sure what you were expecting from a beta that was released months ago.

23. Aeires (unregistered) posted on 03 Jan 2013, 12:37 1 0

Scrolling isn't a new concept.

We know they want to have their own app market since day one, if you look at samsung mobile beside GooglecPlay there is Samsung app market too, but i dont see they can get cut android anytime soon at least 3 to 4 more years anyway.

but....
- Ubuntu for mobile is coming early 2014, not 2013
- Android is already take top spot
- Bada is discountinuing and will be replaced by Tizen, so BB wont be the same level as Bada, i am sure the percentage is higher than Bada
