Tizen tablet prototype

One of the first tablets running the Tizen operating system is set to launch in Japan later this year. While it’s still very much a work in progress, the folks at Tizen Indonesia got a chance to check out a prototype and see how the Linux-based operating system looks on the upcoming 10 inch tablet.

Tizen OS is a Linux-based operating system made by Intel and Samsung. It’s designed for a wide range of mobile devices including smartphones, tablets, laptops, and even in-vehicle systems.

The tablet comes from a Japanese company by the name of Systena, or Shisutena, depending on which spelling you like better. It features a 10 inch, 1920 x 1200 pixel display, a 1.4 GHz ARM Cortex-A9 quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, microSD card slot.  802.11n WiFi, a 2MP rear camera and 0.3MP front-facing camera.

At this point, the prototype is running Tizen 2.0, and the software doesn’t look much different from what you’d find on a phone-sized device. The apps, menus, and icons are all just much, much larger (and animations are a bit sluggish).

Hopefully developers will spend some time optimizing the user interface and performance before the tablet launches.
