As the Tizen Developer Summit came to a close in Seoul, Korea, the Tizen OS, a project for Samsung and Intel, has received overwhelming support once again.

Considering that Samsung's devices have been very reliant on Google's Android OS, with the recent figures from Localytics revealing that Samsung accounts for 63.3% of all Android devices, with next closest brand being HTC at 6.5%.

In addition, Phone Arena reports that in the ranking of top 10 Andoid smartphones, Samsung dominates almost every slot with the Samsung Galaxy S3, Samsung Galaxy S4, Samsung Galaxy Note 2, and Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini. The only non-Samsung devices are ranked 8th and 9th for HTC One and Droid Razr.

Samsung also dominates in the table share of the figures, with five out of the top 10 coming from Samsung.

As Samsung makes a slow but steady push for the Tizen OS, its plans for a more connective OS platform that also banks on the development and boom of cheaper phones, may be its key towards attaining a position that can rise the ranks.

"The Tizen OS promises to be the most open and comprehensive software platform available for those companies wishing to target the consumers of connected devices," said Trevor Cornwell, founder and CEO of appbackr inc, in the official Tizen Association page.

True, it's far from being the OS that Android has already achieved, especially with the coming of Android 4.4 Kitkat. But with many pitches for apps for the new OS as well as Samsungs support of $4 million for the creators of Tizen apps, as reported by CBC, it is a pretty good start.

Overwhelming support for the Tizen

Following the closing of the Tizen Summit, support for the Tizen OS was felt, after 36 companies have expressed their support. Geeky-Gadgets reports that Samsung and Intel's join OS Tizen has created partnerships with 36 companies, including eBay, Konami, Panasonic, McAfee, TrendMicro, and TuneIn Radio, to name a few.

In Japan alone, Softpedia reports that NTT DoCoMo, a wireless carrier, has expressed dissatisfaction over the delay and has said to be in contact with Samsung about rolling out the delayed Tizen-based phones as soon as possible.

It seems that NTT DoCoMo, who has been expecting the Tizen phones to have been released months ago, is now expecting the phones to be out by early 2014.

Going way beyond your usual technology: A Tizen-directed car?

Admittedly, Samsung has introduced the Tizen OS in a very unusual manner, which is by putting it in a mirrorless camera first before a smart device. For most people, if Samsung is really pushing for Tizen to be a viable backup or even alternative for its use of Google's Android OS, it seems that putting it out in a smart device would be the right choice.

However, the first device to see the Tizen's capabilities is a camera, only to be followed by smart devices come 2014, if the schedule goes as planned. But there is another way that Samsung is rolling out the Tizen-through a car.

CNet reports that the new OS will drive cars, three brands to be exact, specifically Jaguar, Toyota and Land Rover. It seems that Samsung has taken the initative by talking to car manufacturers for the Tizen-based In-Vehicle-Infotainment (IVI) system.

Not only that, future plans for the Tizen OS also include powering other technologies like refrigerators, TVs, and even wearable technology. Perhaps Samsung is trying to tap into a territory that is still unexplored even by Android-the land of connectivity in all things electronics.

What do you think of Samsung's supposed grand plans for the Tizen? Is it a great move or should they stick with Android instead?
