ABSTRACT Tizen is an open source, standard based, cross architecture software platform for multiple categories This is the era in which mobile computing and it’s open initially focusing on smart phones, tablets and sources becoming a better part of our life. So be automotive infotainment, with other consumer detached and be solitary from these technology is not electronic device envisioned moving forward[1]. The good because we can’t promote and advance ourselves advantage of being open source is manufacturers can for the forthcoming period. For enlightening and deploy the platform on their products easily new enhancing the knowledge, we are writing this review features/services can be added without breaking paper on Tizen which is mainly an industrial effort to [given the software complies to platform standards] create and expedite new, open and flexible mobile [5]. Current members of Tizen association are operating systems Its intense flexibility gives weapon to operators, OEM’s, NTT DOCOMO, orange, Samsung operators, OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) and Vodafone etc. and developers to create their desired services and [2] business models to show themselves more advance and 2.
