Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.(KRX:005930) is next in line to introduce a new Operating System to reduce its reliance on Android and one day authorize everything and anything that connects to the Internet.
The co-CEO of Samsung, J.K. Shin, in a recent interview called “Tizen” the simple substitute to Android and he said that though Tizen will be introduced in smartphones and tablets in beginning, he thinks it will shortly power computers, cars and an extensive range of other devices as well.
Shin told CNET that there are several things not merely among IT devices involving smartphones, PCs, tablets and cameras. Cross-convergence is among one of the area that Samsung can best do ever since it have numerous parts and finished products.
