These days the Tizen Developer Conference in San Francisco and according to Tizen Indonesia, the version 2.1 operating system is ready to be launched. To date Intel and Samsung have been calling this version by the codename of Nectarine.
This Indonesian media also informs us that the status of the firmware is very stable and that is ready to be presented to the general public. They also report that a Samsung executive has informed a Korean media that the expected date to launch the first phone with Tizen 2.1 it would be in the third quarter of this year in Europe and Japan. It seems that the month with the most ballots is July.
The media hope that the official presentation of Tizen 2.1 Nectarine could take place during the Keynote that will take place today, already at night in Spanish. It will be led by Imad Sousou, CEO of Intel Open Source Technology Center who also holds the position of Co-President of the Tizen Technical Steering Group. Also attending that conference will be Jong-Deok Choi, Executive Vice President of Samsung who is also the other Co-President of the Tizen Technical Steering Group.
The information from this medium also indicates that we will see a very innovative interface and fresh with new features. They also confirm, as we previously knew, that this OS is designed for high-end devices and what can be applied both to phones and tablets and even Smart TV and other information devices.
Tizen is another of the emerging operating systems Linux-based. Like Sailfish, who in this week presented its first device, arises from the ashes of Meego, that failed project of Nokia and Intel. Now the American chip company will not only have the support of an all-powerful manufacturer like Samsung, but there are already other interested manufacturers like Huawei, another giant. In addition, it has the support of important operators like Orange, Vodafone, NTT DoCoMo and Sprint.
