Samsung presented with lots of spectacle at WMC in Barcelona, it’s old – New – Gear SmartWatch. Truely new is that Android isn’t on it any more, the new Gear’s are running Samsung’s own proprietary Tizen OS. The first introduction of Gear running Android wasn’t exactly Samsungs finest hour but the new (ole) Gear running Tizen is supposed to make up for that. The rest of the specs where largely unchanged, so we’ll get the screen resolution, computing power and memory as in the previously introduced Android versions.
Tizen is an open source, standards-based software platform supported by leading mobile operators, device manufacturers, and silicon suppliers for multiple device categories such as smartphones, tablets, netbooks, in-vehicle infotainment devices, and smart TVs. Tizen offers an innovative operating system, applications, and a user experience that consumers can take from device to device.
The Tizen project resides within the Linux Foundation and is governed by a Technical Steering Group. The Technical Steering Group is the primary decision-making body for the open source project, with a focus on platform development and delivery, along with the formation of working groups to support device verticals.
The Tizen Association has been formed to guide the industry role of Tizen, including gathering of requirements, identification and facilitation of service models, and overall industry marketing and education.
Tizen provides a robust and flexible environment for application developers, based on HTML5. With HTML5’s robust capabilities and cross platform flexibility, it is rapidly becoming the preferred development environment for mobile apps and services. The Tizen SDK and API allow developers to use HTML5 and related web technologies to write applications that run across multiple device segments.

The Analyst and expert on Wearable technology KEVIN MCCULLAGH makes interesting points about the relative value in the Use-Cases for Wearables. Yet, he states on Fact.CoDesign: ‚On a less creepy front, remote care of the elderly has huge potential. The number of elderly people wishing to live independently for longer is already huge, and growing rapidly. This group is less attached to mobile phones compared with younger generations, and the current fall detectors and alarm button pendants on offer are demeaning. The Tele-Care industry is also fragmented, antiquated, and ripe for consolidation.‘
