SAMSUNG WATCH

Next watch Samsung is not Android

Will be released with the Tizen operating system, based on Linuz and made by exdesarrolladores MeeGo .

Recently it came to light that Samsung had the opportunity to buy at the time, or at least invest in Android, when it was just a project for a small company of eight people. South Korea jumped at the opportunity and was Google who became the operating system . Years later, he is the most popular mobile ecosystem in the world.

Although based on open source software and is very juicy for manufacturers so cheap, Google controls Android quite far , especially the services must be associated with it. And that translates into huge profits by using applications such as email, YouTube, etc. .

Not easy to penetrate this market right now , unless you're Apple , which hit before and develops smartphones that sell for millions despite making war on their own. Microsoft is trying with Windows Phone , but even though analysts predict that there will come a time when it has a significant share for now is very low compared to Android.

After hatching of the first smartphones and tablets later, right now we live in the first steps of a new category of mobile devices: wearable . In English ' wearables ' , these devices we carry are those that monitor our activity and can take the form of a bracelet, watch , glasses or even shirts .

It is a very lucrative market , not only for the money that can come from the sale of devices but also the associated data . And Samsung does not want the same thing happened with Android to occur. Now that these devices are not yet in the minds of all consumers, now that there is a large installed base and now that there is a company that rule with an iron fist ... Try to be that company and not dance to playing another .

Thus , it makes sense that Samsung is planning to make a second version of its smartwatch , the Galaxy Gear, based Tizen OS. Apart from the changes you need to watch , it would be an important step in Samsung's strategy to enhance it 's own ' software ' . This operating system has been sponsored by the Linux Foundation and its development is led by Intel, Samsung and former MeeGo developers , Tizen 's predecessor .

Developers can create applications for Tizen in HTML5 or native libraries with Enlightenment Foundation . The negative part of it is that although it has been constructed taking open code base , the latest version of Tizen SDK has a Samsung proprietary code .

The purpose and the reasons are quite clear Samsung : Tizen go to conquering a fairly virgin territory while working to get the operating system also made ​​a dent in smartphones and mobile , where Google is king.
