We reported yesterday that the first Samsung smartphone running Tizen OS is delayed for at least for two more months and the release is pushed to the Q4 2013. But it looks like Tizen OS is almost dead according to Eldar Murtazin, the delay is not the delay and the project might be scrapped for good. He tweets that Samsung might not release more than one device for 2014.
Tizen is almost dead. It isn't delay. That's cancel of the whole project. I doubt that Samsung will launch more than one device for 2014

He also says that Samsung and Intel are working on a new Android OS based project. So it might be possible some good bits of Tizen OS will go into that project, remember when Tizen was announced Bada OS of Samsung merged with Tizen.
@LSAwesome it will be another intel connected project (android based). It's more interesting in all ways

It will be interesting if Intel and Samsung are working on a Android based OS. It will give Samsung some room to escape from Google’s reliance. Now if the Tizen is scrapped Samsung might release handsets on the new Android based OS and keep Google away, the same way Amazon does with Android. Amazon uses a fork of the Android to install in its Kindle line of devices with its own Appstore.
