The unveiling
of Tizen left
many mobile open-source aficionados wondering when the OS would reach
its all-important 1.0 status. The answer is now: the coalition
between Intel, Panasonic, Samsung and a raft of carriers has posted
the first non-beta release in both source code and software
development kit forms. The finished versions of either carry new
features to reward developers for the wait: SDK users get a new
browser-based simulator and a faster emulator, while those scouring
the source code will find new point-of-interest and route searching
features in location-aware apps as well as WiFi Direct and more HTML5
support. About the only wait left is for an actual
Tizen phone to
ship.
