"Samsung plans to launch multiple devices based on Linux-based mobile OS Tizen in 2013, the company has confirmed.\n\"We plan to release new, competitive Tizen devices within this year and will keep expanding the lineup depending on market conditions,\" Samsung told Bloomberg Businessweek in an e-mailed statement. \nNo details about the upcoming devices or their prices were disclosed. \nTizen is a Linux-based, open-source mobile operating system led by Samsung and Intel. It supports both Intel and ARM processors and its SDK and API allow developers to use HTML5 to write applications. Besides smartphones, it's aimed for use in tablets, GPS devices, netbooks, smart TVs and in-vehicle infotainment devices. \nThe move could be related to Google's acquisition of Motorola, as Samsung may be looking to decrease reliance on Google's mobile OS, Android. Samsung already has a mobile OS of its own \u2014 Bada \u2014 but it voiced its intentions to shelve it in favor of Tizen. The company launched several Bada-based smartphones at the end of 2011, but none followed in 2012. \nImage credit: Tizen"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
