Tizen is an open source project housed within The Linux*
Foundation with the goal of building an innovative web-based
platform built upon industry standards. From enthusiastic
developers to multinational companies, Tizen’s mixture of
contributors at every level ensures dynamic growth, diverse
viewpoints which stimulate innovation, long-term stability and a
commitment to performance.
Tizen aims to introduce a robust unified experience across
multiple devices—smartphone, tablet, Smart TV, PC and in-vehicle
infotainment—with a focus on mobile platforms. Tizen is not
based on proprietary technologies, but on industry-standard open
specifications such as HTML5 and JavaScript*. Whereas other
platforms may relegate such technologies to Web-specific secondclass
citizens, Tizen embraces the benefits of widely adopted
cross-platform web technologies and enables the creation of
devices running open and innovative content and services.
